If you have a moderate case and receive quick treatment, you will often have a full recovery. Severe cases can be fatal if you delay treatment. [healthline.com]

Treatment The goal of treatment in cardiogenic flash pulmonary edema includes efforts to maximize heart function by decreasing cardiac work and intravascular volume. [cathlabdigest.com]

Outlook The outlook (prognosis) depends on the cause of the pulmonary oedema. Pulmonary oedema may get better, either quickly or slowly. However, it can also be life-threatening, especially without urgent medical treatment. [patient.info]

Abstract Electron microscopic studies on the alveolar-capillary barrier were carried out in 13 patients of chronic pulmonary edema and/or congestion resulting from heart disease of various etiologies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

According to the etiology, edema may be localized (in inflammation or in impaired venous drainage) or systemic (in right heart failure or in nephrotic syndrome). A generalized and severe edema is called anasarca. [pathologyatlas.ro]
