What can I expect if I have cardiogenic pulmonary edema?

Pulmonary edema is life-threatening, but your prognosis depends on what caused it. One year after discharge from a hospital, about 50% survive cardiac edema.

Heart failure, a common cause of cardiogenic pulmonary edema, is a chronic disease that can get better with treatment. Out of every three people who’ve been in the hospital because of heart failure, one person lives five or more years after their stay.
