An 80-year-old woman dies shortly after admission to the hospital because of a 3-day history of progressively increasing shortness of breath. She had a history of heart failure. Examination of the lungs during autopsy shows alveolar damage with distended lymphatics, congested alveolar capillaries, and pink-staining homogenous proteinaceous hyaline material in alveoli. Which of the following is the most likely cause of these findings?
A. Amyloidosis
B. Aspiration pneumonitis
C. Emphysema
D. Pneumonia
E. Pulmonary edema
F. Septic shock
is this ARDS?
