What is the relationship between known recurrent asthma and congestive cardiac failure?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
True true, unrelated: Heart failure can cause pulmonary edema (water logged lungs) for which one sign is wheeze (all that wheezes is not asthma). A related environmental cause - severe pollution , could lead a person with both to have an exacerbation of both... But it is more likely that "cardiac asthma" isn't asthma at all, but just the heart failure.

Truly no: However, heart failure can cause pulmonary edema, which can lead to "cardiac wheezing" that has been mistaken for asthma. People do have both asthma and heart failure, and pollution can flair both diseases, but even then they are not truly inter-related in the body(one does not cause or exacerbate the other).
