==Overview==
Pulmonary [[edema]] is fluid accumulation in the [[lung]]s. This fluid accumulation leads to impaired gas exchange and [[hypoxia]].


==Differential diagnosis of Underlying Causes of Pulmonary Edema==
Pulmonary edema is either due to direct damage to the tissue or as a result of inadequate functioning of the heart or circulatory system.
===Cardiogenic===
* Severe [[cardiac arrhythmia|arrhythmias]] ([[tachycardia]]/fast heartbeat or [[bradycardia]]/slow heartbeat)
* [[Arteriovenous malformation]]
* [[Anomalous pulmonary venous return]]
* [[Aortic Regurgitation]]
* [[Aortic Stenosis]]
* [[Arrhythmia]]
* [[Cardiomyopathy]]
* Congenita pulmonary venous stenosis

* [[Coronary Heart Disease]]
* [[Hypertensive crisis]]
* [[Left Heart Failure]]
* Left-to-Right Shunt
* [[Mitral Regurgitation]]
* [[Mitral Stenosis]]
* [[Myocarditis]]
* [[Pericardial Disease]]. [[Pericardial effusion]] with tamponade
* ST elevation [[MI]] with [[left ventricular failure]]
===Non-cardiogenic===
This form is contiguous with ARDS ([[acute respiratory distress syndrome]]):
* Acute Bronchial [[Asthma]]
* [[Acute Renal Failure]]
* Bacterial toxins
* Blood [[Transfusions]]
* [[Burns]]
* Chronic [[mediastinitis]]
* Decompression sickness
* [[Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation]]
* [[Drowning]]
* [[Drugs]]
* Fibrotic/inflammatory disease
* Fluid overload, e.g. from [[renal failure|kidney failure]]
* Gastric content [[aspiration]]
* [[Goodpasture's Syndrome]]
* [[High altitude sickness]]. Ascent to high altitude occasionally causes [[high altitude pulmonary edema]] (HAPE)<ref>{{cite web | author=M Bates | title=High altitude pulmonary edema| url=http://www.altitude.org/hape_altitude.htm| publisher=Apex (Altitude Physiology Expeditions) | accessdate=2007-03-06}}</ref>

* Neurogenic, e.g. [[subarachnoid hemorrhage]]
* [[Pheochromocytoma]]
* [[Pneumonia]]
* Pulmonary contusion, i.e. high-energy trauma
* [[Pulmonary Embolism]]
* Reexpansion, i.e. post [[pneumonectomy]] or large volume [[thoracentesis]]
* Reperfusion injury, i.e. postpulmonary thromboendartectomy or [[lung transplantation]]
* [[Sepsis]]
* [[Shock]]
* [[Toxic Shock Syndrome]]
