The lung fields show pulmonary congestion. Pleural effusion in heart failure, if unilateral, is more likely to occur on the right side. The proposed mechanisms are the larger surface area of the right lung leading to transudation of more fluid and the preference of patients with heart failure to lie on the right side. The latter is thought to be due to the presence of an enlarged heart on the left side, producing more discomfort in the left lateral position. In one study by Mitrouska et al, unilateral right-sided pleural effusions were twice as common as left-sided effusions in congestive heart failure (28% vs 15%) [1]. That data also showed that bilateral pleural effusion is more common than unilateral pleural effusion in congestive heart failure.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Ioanna Mitrouska, Demosthenes Bouros. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12426239\/\">The trans-exudative pleural effusion<\/a>.
