Question

Which type of heart failure is most likely to be associated with pulmonary edema?

• A. Heart failure resulting from an arteriovenous fistula
• B. High cardiac output heart failure
• C. Left heart failure without right heart failure
• D. Right heart failure without left heart failure

Hint:

Pulmonary edema is a hallmark of left heart failure, as the heart cannot effectively pump blood, causing fluid buildup in the lungs.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Pulmonary edema is most commonly associated with left heart failure. When the left side of the heart is unable to pump effectively, fluid backs up into the lungs, leading to pulmonary edema. Right heart failure does not directly cause pulmonary edema.
