Article Synopsis
- - Pulmonary edema occurs when fluid builds up in the lungs' alveoli, and can be classified as either cardiogenic (related to heart issues) or noncardiogenic (not related to heart problems).
- - Cardiogenic pulmonary edema is often linked to congestive heart failure (CHF) and is typically treated with loop diuretics, with torsemide and furosemide being effective options due to their ability to reduce heart pressure levels.
- - Torsemide may be preferable over furosemide because it has better absorption and efficacy, showing good results when given intravenously for cardiogenic pulmonary edema, but further studies are necessary to evaluate its effectiveness in non-cardiogenic cases.
