Pulmonary congestion and edema

Pulmonary congestion and edema

Assignment #3 (1 content page)

During an autopsy, a female victim presents with pulmonary congestion and edema. Her lungs
weigh three to four times the normal weight. A closer inspection of her heart revealed that her
right ventricle was unusually distended and the pulmonary artery was full. There was also focal
heart muscle damage with resulting cross-brand necrosis, indicating hypercontraction of the heart
muscle. During the external examination, the woman appeared relatively healthy. One small
detail was she had fenestration of the nasal septum. A urine sample revealed the presence of
cocaethylene.
