Heart failure patients who are always coughing due to lung stasis, edema, and infection need to seek medical attention to control their heart failure in a timely manner to avoid adverse consequences.
When a patient develops left heart failure, the heart is unable to adequately pump blood out of the left ventricle, resulting in blood pooling in the left atrium. Further worsening of this pooling can lead to increased pulmonary venous pressure and blood stagnation in the lungs, resulting in pulmonary stasis or acute pulmonary edema. Excess fluid in the lungs causes the patient to cough in an attempt to expel the fluid from the lungs.
When right heart failure occurs, the inability of the right heart to properly drain blood to the lungs can lead to increased pressure in the upper and lower vena cava, and in severe cases, the return of blood throughout the body is impeded, and coughing occurs in the lungs as a result of bruising and edema.
Heart failure patients with lung stasis, oozing to the bacteria provide a good environment for growth, so heart failure patients are often admitted to the hospital because of lung infections, manifested by coughing and coughing up sputum, dyspnea.
If heart failure patients always cough, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to correct the heart failure, reduce pulmonary stasis and control lung infection to avoid delay.
