Fluid accumulation in lungs is a condition known as Pulmonary Edema. It results when the left ventricles of your heart are failing to pump adequate blood to the rest of your body and as a result, blood accumulates in the lungs due to the decreased rate of blood flow from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart via the pulmonary vein.
