Giant Right Atrial Myxoma Presenting With Right Heart Failure [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports
Right atrial myxomas (RAMs) are exceedingly rare cardiac tumors that can incur devastating complications. These tumors are capable of producing right-sided heart failure (rHF) through obstruction of venous return and tricuspid inflow. Herein, we describe

Percutaneous OxyRVAD in a Patient with Severe Respiratory Failure and Right Heart Failure: A Case Report [PDF]

Journal of Chest Surgery
Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) is often used in cases of severe respiratory failure, especially in patients considered for lung transplantation. However, because many lung diseases can ultimately result in right heart failure,

Right heart failure after left ventricular assist device: From mechanisms to treatments

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is a lifesaving option for patients with medical therapy-refractory advanced heart failure. Depending on the definition, 5–44% of people supported with an LVAD develop right heart failure (RHF), which is ...

Effects of ranolazine on right ventricular function, fluid dynamics, and metabolism in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension: insights from a longitudinal, randomized, double-blinded, placebo controlled, multicenter study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionRight ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of outcome in patients with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH). We studied the effect of ranolazine on RV function over 6 months using multi-modality imaging and biochemical markers
