Synonyms
- Hydrostatic pulmonary edema
Definitions
- Pulmonary venous hypertension (PVH) = elevated left atrial and ventricular filling pressures → increased pulmonary venous pressure
- Cardiogenic pulmonary edema = PVH → elevated pulmonary capillary pressure → increased transudation of fluid into interstitial and alveolar spaces of lung
