A patient with chronic heart failure experiences edema. The primary pathophysiological cause of heart failure-related edema is:

  • Decreased capillary hydrostatic pressure.
  • Increased plasma oncotic pressure.
  • Increased capillary hydrostatic pressure due to fluid overload and decreased cardiac output.
  • Increased lymphatic drainage.
