It provides insight into the cause, precipitating factors, and associated comorbidities. A complete history will help determine the correct diagnosis, therapy, and the prognosis. Specific histories including symptom onset, pre-existing lung diseases, congenital heart diseases, the presence of CNS lesions, associated symptoms, and drug usage have to be obtained.
