What condition accompanies heart failure and is characterized by noninfectious fluid build up in the alveoli lung tissues?
The condition that accompanies heart failure and is characterized by noninfectious fluid buildup in the alveoli lung tissues is known as pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to a buildup of pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs. This increased pressure forces fluid from the blood vessels into the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs, causing shortness of breath, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Pulmonary edema is a serious condition and requires prompt medical attention.
