Summary points:
A 79-year-old male, previously diagnosed with Parkinson disease and taking cabergoline 2 mg/d for the past 12 months, presents with persistent cold symptoms (cough, sputum production, and dyspnea). Radiography, physical examination, laboratory tests, computed tomography, electrocardiogram, and echocardiogram are described; images provided. The authors discuss the potential adverse effects of cabergoline, especially in patients at higher risk of developing heart or lung disease.
