If pulmonary edema continues, it can raise pressure in the pulmonary artery (pulmonary hypertension), and eventually the right ventricle in your heart becomes weak and begins to fail. The right ventricle has a much thinner wall of muscle than does the left side of your heart because it is under less pressure to pump blood into the lungs.
In normal conditions, several milliliters of fluid are present between the heart muscles and the pericardium. Generally pericardial effusion happens with an abnormal fluid accumulation around your heart. Excess fluid accumulation around the heart is not attributed to gender or age. Many conditions can result in fluid build up around the heart and the lungs. The condition might happen when pericardial fluid flow is blocked, and blood is accumulated in the pericardium. Such cancer forms as thyroid cancer, cancer of the cervix, kidney, larynx, stomach, pancreas, esophagus, leukemia, and cancer spread to pericardium, can provoke excessive build up of fluid.
