Save. Coughing can be a sign of the common cold, a lingering respiratory infection or a symptom of heart disease. Understanding the reasons that heart problems and coughing are linked to one another can help you determine whether your persistent cough is something to be alarmed about.

Cardiac asthma is not a form of asthma. It's a type of coughing or wheezing that occurs with left heart failure. Depending on how severe your symptoms are, this wheezing can be a medical emergency. Heart failure can cause fluid to build up in your lungs (pulmonary edema) and in and around your airways. The latter causes signs and symptoms â such as shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing â that may mimic asthma.
