What is the relationship between right-sided heart failure and pleural effusion?
In right-sided heart failure, the heart cannot effectively pump blood to the lungs, leading to a buildup of blood in the veins that transport blood from the body tissues back to the right heart. This can result in edema in the lower limbs, as blood accumulates in the leg veins due to difficulty in venous return. In addition, blood can leak into the pulmonary blood vessels, causing pulmonary edema.
In left-sided heart failure, the heart cannot effectively pump blood to the body, and blood can accumulate in the blood vessels that circulate through the lungs. This can lead to congestion in the lungs, resulting in a buildup of fluid in the pleural cavity, i.e., pleural effusion.

A insuficiência cardíaca do lado direito pode levar a um acúmulo de líquido na cavidade abdominal e nas extremidades inferiores do corpo, como resultado da dificuldade do coração em bombear sangue para os pulmões. No entanto, a insuficiência cardíaca do lado direito não é diretamente responsável pelo desenvolvimento de derrame pleural. O derrame pleural é mais comumente associado à insuficiência cardíaca do lado esquerdo, que pode levar a um acúmulo de líquido nos pulmões e, consequentemente, na cavidade pleural.
