Pulmonary edema is a disorder wherein fluid accumulates in the lungs leading to lack of oxygen in the body. The usual cause of pulmonary edema is congestive heart failure (the muscles of the heart are unable to pump blood).

In a bid to relieve this added pressure, fluid is released into the lungs by the blood vessels.

If you have inherited two copies of the defective gene from your parents, you are likely to suffer from this disease.
