AB Acute  pulmonary  edema  is  one  of  the  most  critical  presentations  of  the  many  clinical  effects  of  heart  failure.  The  most  common  precipitating  factors  of  heart  failure  are  atrial  fibrillation,  acute  myocardial  infarction  or  ischemia,  discontinuation  of  medications  (diuretics),  increased  sodium  load,  drugs  that  impair  myocardial  function,  and  physical  overexertion.
