Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Left-sided heart failure is also known as congestive heart failure. Pulmonary edema (A) is a symptom of congestive heart failure and refers to the accumulation of fluid in the lungs. Dyspnea (B) is another symptom of congestive heart failure and refers to difficulty breathing. Ejection fraction (D) is a measure of how well the heart is pumping blood, and while it may be affected in left-sided heart failure, it is not another name for the condition.
