Pulmonary Edema Pulmonary edema (swelling or fluid in the lungs) can either be caused by cardiogenic causes (congestive heart failure, heart attacks, abnormal heart valves) or noncardiogenic causes such as: ARDS, kidney failure, high altitude, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, aspirin overdose, pulmonary embolism, and.
Fluid accumulation in the lungs occurs due to two reasons: 1  Cardiogenic reasons where the heart fails to pump the blood to the systemic circulation, leading to build up of blood in the pulmonary circulation, which eventually leads to increased hydrostatic pressure and causes the fluids to leak from the capillaries into the lung itself.
