What are 5 differential diagnosis for congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition that occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood strongly enough throughout the body to maintain circulation. This causes a backup of fluids in both the lungs and the rest of the body. Symptoms of CHF include dyspnea with activity, cough, weakness and
What is the fluid that must be drained back to the heart?
Blood. The human heart is divided into two halves, which act as two pumps. The right half of the heart collects deoxygenated blood drained from all over the body, and pumps that deoxygenated blood into both lungs. The left half of the heart collects oxygenated blood drained from both lungs, and pumps that oxygenated blood to the rest of the body.

What causes blood in the lungs?
There are many reasons fluids, such as blood, can settle in the lungs. One of the ways is via Pulmonary Edema. It is also known as Congestive Heart Failure. In this case, an overworked or diseased left ventricle is unable to pump out all of the blood from your lungs. As a result the pressure builds in the ventricle, capillaries, veins as well as the lungs, causing the fluid to be pushed through the walls of the capillaries out into the air sacs. .

How can people with heart condition suffer swollen feet?
You are talking about "heart failure". There are two kinds. Edema (swelling) in the feet happens when the heart is having trouble pumping blood out of the body and to the lungs for oxygenation. Because of this, fluids build up in the extremities. Sometimes the heart has trouble pumping blood out of the lungs and back into the body's general circulation. In this case the build-up of fluid is in the lungs.
