Thanks for taking the time.. The only other thing is when she went back to get the fluid drained off her lungs, it affected her kidneys, she couldnt use the bathroom, so they put a cartha in, sorry i dont know how to spell it She will be going to get her kidneys checked next wk. But she isnt having trouble now. So I dont know whats going on. I will have to say she is doing better...she saw the heart doctor yesterday, and he said everything looked fine,,and told her husband to drain her lungs once a day, and he gave her more fluid pills, I didnt go, wish i had, because i would have asked him more questions...anyway thanks again,,
Reading between the lines without further information, it can be the left ventricle is not pumping out into circulation blood received and there is an imbalance of blood received causing the surplus blood to back up into the lungs. As a result fluids leak into the lung tissues (lung edema). Or there could be a problem with the kidneys and the problem increases blood volume.
It may not be uncommon but it is a condition that is not expected. A test can determine the pumping strength of the left ventricle. Normal is about 50 to 70% called the ejection fraction (EF) and that represents the fraction of blood pumped out rwith each stroke. I had pulmonary edema when the EF was below 29%.
