A member asked:
Would pulmonary edema be because an increase in salt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: In situations in which the pulmonary edema is related to heart failure, excess salt can cause the persons heart failure to worsen and cause pulmonary edema. This is only the case in those with the underlying heart problem however.
