How can chf lead to pulmonary edema?

Back up of fluiud: In CHF the heart either can't pump blood/fluid forward or is unable to relax to allow blood/fluid to fill the chambers. These are known as systolic and diastolic heart failure. The fluid in turn will back up into the lungs as the heart & lung are connected. When the fluid overcomes the ability of the lungs to pump it the condition is known as pulmonary edema.

Yes: Congestive heart failure is defined by the ineffectiveness of the circulatory system and has caused a back up of the vascular/cardiac/pulmonary system: it can cause pulmonary edema. Good luck!
