Congestion of the alveolar capillaries is a common alteration in animals with cardiac failure (passive congestion) or with inflammatory conditions of the lung (active congestion). Note the dilation and repletion of the alveolar capillaries with erythrocytes, in smaller amplification on the left (H&E, 100x) and in greater amplification on the right (H&E, 400x).
