What causes pulmonary edema?
Pulmonary edema occurs as a complication of several disorders of the heart, including heart attack, heart valve disease and other cardiac disorders. It can also occur as a result of exposure to high altitude. The condition develops as a result of fluid backup in the veins of the lungs. As pressure in these veins increases, fluid is forced out of the veins and into the air spaces of the lungs (called the alveoli). This affects the lungs' ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli.
