Acute attack of dyspnea may be combined with acute cor pulmonale (ACP). Rapid and accurate identification of the etiology of ACP is the key to its diagnosis and treatment. Echocardiography is a better imaging tool in the assessment of right ventricular function. Under the guidance of the theory of cardiopulmonary interaction, ultrasonography can detect lung lesions, which causes ACP. We report the case of a 67‐year‐old man who received mechanical ventilation for acute respiratory failure. Right ventricular dysfunction was detected by echocardiography. Lung ultrasound showed a high risk of pulmonary embolism. However, obstructive atelectasis should not be ruled out after increasing back area ultrasonography. To avoid pitfalls, combined cardiac and lung ultrasound should be used carefully and strictly.
