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.

Pink frothy sputum in heart failure is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the lungs, known as pulmonary edema. This occurs when the heart is unable to effectively pump blood, leading to a backup of fluid in the lungs. The pink color comes from the presence of blood in the fluid, indicating damage to the tiny blood vessels in the lungs.
