Lung congestion correlated directly with pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR, P = 0.004) and inversely with pulmonary artery (PA) compliance (P &amp;lt; 0.001) and the diffusion limit for carbon monoxide (DLCO, P = 0.009). Compared with dry lung HF, wet lung HF patients (congestion score &amp;gt; median) had 25% lower PA compliance and 25\u201335% higher PVR, transpulmonary gradients and PA pressures (40 vs. 32 mmHg, P &amp;lt; 0.001) despite marginally higher PA wedge pressure (PAWP; 22 vs. 19 mmHg, P = 0.002). Wet lung HF patients displayed more right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction, more restrictive ventilation and greater reduction of DLCO. The strongest correlates of lung congestion were NT-proBNP, haemoglobin, albumin, and glomerular filtration, all surpassing PAWP. After a median of 333 days (interquartile range 80\u2013875), 59 patients (32%) died. Lung congestion was associated with reduced survival (P &amp;lt; 0.0001), even after adjusting for PAWP, NT-proBNP, anaemia, CAD and renal dysfunction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interstitial lung oedema is associated with pulmonary vascular disease, RV overload and dysfunction and increased mortality in HF.
