Cardiogenic
pulmonary
edema
(
CPE
)
is
defined
as
____________________
edema
due
to
increased
capillary
hydrostatic
pressure
____________________
to
elevated
pulmonary
venous
pressure
.
CPE
reflects
the
accumulation
of
fluid
with
a
low
-
protein
content
in
the
lung
interstitium
and
alveoli
as
a
____________________
of
cardiac
dysfunction

Pulmonary
edema
can
be
caused
by
