Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Pulmonary edema is often caused by congestive heart failure. When the heart is not able to pump efficiently, blood can back up into the veins that take blood through the lungs. As the pressure in these blood vessels increases, fluid is pushed into the air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs.
Detailed explanation-2: -Congestive heart failure As blood flow out of the heart slows, blood returning to the heart through the veins backs up. This causes congestion in the body’s tissues. Often swelling, known as edema, results. Most often there’s swelling in the legs and ankles, but it can happen in other parts of the body, too.
