Which of the Following is Most Likely to Cause Pulmonary

Question

Which of the following is most likely to cause pulmonary edema?
A) Bronchitis
B) Coryza
C) Exercise-induced asthma
D) Left ventricular heart failure

Accepted Answer

Left ventricular heart failure impairs the ability of the heart to pump blood effectively, leading to an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, resulting in pulmonary edema. Bronchitis, Coryza, and exercise-induced asthma may cause respiratory distress, but they are not typically associated with pulmonary edema.
