Question

"A 79-year-old female was admitted with acute shortness of breath (SOB) and the patient also carries a diagnosis of CHF and COPD. The emergency room physician suspected pneumonia but this was ruled out. The consulting physician felt that the patient's symptoms were 'more heart failure related'; however, the progress note on 7/9/09 at 0830 hours by the attending physician noted that he did not feel the shortness of breath was related to congestive heart failure due to lack of clinical findings. The final progress note on 7/9 by the Heart Failure Clinic states that the shortness of breath was due to volume overload." What are the documented diagnoses?
