This document discusses chronic venous congestion (CVC) of the lung, liver, and spleen. It defines hyperemia as an increase in blood flow to a tissue due to arterial dilation, while congestion is increased venous blood due to outflow obstruction. CVC of the lung is caused by left heart failure and results in brown induration. CVC of the liver is caused by right heart failure or IVC/portal vein obstruction, appearing as alternating red and yellow "nutmeg liver". CVC of the spleen causes enlargement and congestion. Microscopically, CVC results in hemorrhage, edema, and hemosiderin deposition in affected tissues over time.
