   Crackles can be heard in people who have pneumonia, atelectasis, pulmonary fibrosis, acute bronchitis, bronchiectasis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), interstitial lung disease or post thoracotomy or metastasis ablation. Pulmonary edema secondary to left-sided congestive heart failure and high altitude pulmonary edema can also cause ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

   The left side of the heart takes oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and pumps it to the rest of the circulatory system in the body (except for the pulmonary circulation). Failure of the left side of the heart causes blood to back up into the lungs, causing breathing difficulties and fatigue due to an insufficient supply of oxygenated blood.

   And then they’re then called “hemosiderin-laden macrophages”, also known as “heart failure cells”. For left-sided heart failure, certain medications can be prescribed to help improve blood flow, like ACE inhibitors which help dilate blood vessels, as well as diuretics to help reduce the overall fluid buildup in the body which helps ...

   There are different types of heart failure; left- or right-sided (or bilateral) heart failure may occur depending on the affected part of the heart, and it is a low-output type of failure. If one of the heart valves is affected, this may cause dysfunction, such as mitral regurgitation in the case of left-sided coronary occlusion that disrupts ...

   This occurs in the setting of valvular disease i.e. pulmonary valve, and in the setting of respiratory disease whereby the pressure in the pulmonary artery becomes elevated (e.g., left heart failure and fluid congestion to the right heart, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension).

   It is thought to result from the heart beating against air-filled tissues. It is named after Johns Hopkins clinician Louis Hamman, M.D. [4] This sound is heard best over the left lateral position. [5] It has been described as a series of precordial crackles that correlate with the heart beat rather than respiration.
