Pulmonary edema Pulmonary edema is a condition in which there is an accumulation of fluid in the lungs, which makes it difficult or even impossible to breathe effectively. Acute pulmonary edema is a form of pulmonary edema that occurs suddenly, is a life-threatening emergency, and can be rapidly fatal if not treated immediately. In most cases, pulmonary edema is due to heart failure, a condition in which the heart muscle has been damaged and is too weak to pump sufficient amounts of oxygen-rich blood to and from the lungs and the rest of the body. This increases blood pressure in the lungs and leads to a back-up and build-up of fluid in the lungs.
