Pulmonary edema is due to failure of which part of the heart?
Pulmonary edema is a result of a left ventricle failure or simply congestive heart failure which results in the heart not being able to remove fluid from lung circulation.
What is heart faliure?
Heart failure is when the heart cannot pump the blood out as fast as it is comming back in. As a result pressure builds in the veins and fluid leaks into the surrounding tissues. If the left heart fails the fluid goes into the lungs and causes shortness of breath and eventually right heart failure. If the right heart is failing, either due to left heart failure or on its own, you get swelling in the legs and abdomen.
Can tattoos and body piercing cause heart failure?
Ahhh No. Look if you have heart issues these are things you should maybe not consider having done, but will they cause heart failure? No. I have never in the last 16 years heard of anyone keeling over due to a tattoo or a body piercing. I have heard of people dying from stupidity because they got secondary infections due to there negligence and failure to care for there piercings or tattoos and this hasaggravated an underlying medical condition. But straight up dying from one or the other directly causing heart failure, no never happens.
What is left sided congestive heart failure?
Heart failure is a condition where the heart grows a lot larger due to it requiring a greater pumping force. This can be either due to increased blood volume or more likely, due to increased systemic resistance. A common cause of this is systemic atherosclerosis or aortic stenosis. The problem is, the large heart cannot be sustained for long and eventually the wall just thins out and becomes weak. So your heart can't pump out as much blood as before, giving you symptoms such as breathlessness, palpitations, fluid swelling, raised JVP etc.
Are heart attack and heart failure the same?
No. A heart attack (called a myocardial infarction, or MI) is an acute event caused by lack of oxygen and metabolic substrates to a particular part of the heart, or the entire heart in certain conditions, such as shock. Heart failure, as it is frequently called, is actually a misnomer. It refers to a relative weakness of the heart, causing its pumping action to not be as efficient as it once was. For instance, a healthy heart has a pumping efficiency (Ejection fraction = the percentage of blood in the ventricle that is pumped out with each heart beat) of about 55-60%. In "heart failure," the ejection fraction is less than this. Heart failure is frequently seen after heart attacks, but may be caused by many other conditions as well.
What happens when you pass out after being hit in the chest?
When someone passes out after being hit in the chest, it could be due to a condition called commotio cordis. This rare condition involves a sudden disruption of the heart's rhythm caused by a direct blow to the chest. Seek immediate medical attention if someone loses consciousness after being hit in the chest.

Are congestive heart failure and diastolic heart failure the same?
Congestive heart failure is a buildup of fluid due to a failure of the heart to maintain a normal forward flow. It is a pump problem. Symptoms my include swelling of the soft tissues of the extremities, particularly the lower extremities, shortness of breath from buildup of fluid in the lungs, inability to lie down due to shortness of breath, decreased appetite, and exercise intolerance.An enlarged heart may be seen on chest xray in a patient with congestive heart failure, but other conditions may cause an enlarged heart as well, including chronic hypertension.
