What causes congestive heart failure to produce heavy breathing?

Elevated pressure: Heart failure causes elevated filling pressures in the heart which then reflect back in the lungs. The elevated pressures in thelungs causes fluid to extravasate into the parenchyma, which causes shortness of breath and dyspnea.
