Why does a patient with heart disease retain fluid?

Pulmonary Edema Pulmonary Edema Overview. Pulmonary edema literally means an excess collection of watery fluid in the lungs. (pulmonary=lung +edema=excess fluid). However, the lung is a complex organ, and there are many causes of this excess fluid accumulation. Regardless of the cause, fluid makes it difficult for the lungs to function (to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with cells in the bloodstream). Air enters the lungs through the mouth and nose, traveling through the trachea (windpipe) into the bronchial tubes.
