An Unusual Cause of Right Heart Failure [PDF]

Cardiogenetics, 2019
Carcinoid syndrome is a paraneoplastic condition, which usually affects the lungs or gastrointestinal tract but uncommonly cardiac valves can be involved, causing carcinoid heart disease. We describe a case of a 60-year-old man presented with a twelve-month history of worsening shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance.

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

J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep
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

Imatinib for right heart failure in COPD [PDF]

Pulmonary Circulation, 2018
Severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) is rare in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs are vasodilators and may cause severe side effects in these patients. Hence, they are not recommended except in right heart failure on an individual basis.

Redox Biology of Right-Sided Heart Failure [PDF]

Antioxidants, 2018
Right-sided heart failure is the major cause of death among patients who suffer from various forms of pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease. The right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) originate from different progenitor cells and function against very different blood pressures. However, differences between the RV and LV formed after

A case of right sided heart failure

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2015
A patient of dominant right sided heart failure for 7 years is presented and discussed, starting from the history and examination findings and going on to all the investigations. The clinical findings, along with the electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, echocardiogram, and cardiac computed tomography are used to arrive at a diagnosis of chronic constrictive

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

J Chest Surg
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,

Balloon atrial septostomy: a weapon to challenge right heart failure after cardiac surgery. [PDF]

J Cardiothorac Surg
Right heart failure is a common complication after cardiac surgery, and its mortality remains high. The medical management and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has shown significant improvement in the majority of cases.

Cardioprotection in right heart failure [PDF]

British Journal of Pharmacology, 2020
Ischaemic and pharmacological conditioning of the left ventricle is mediated by the activation of signalling cascades, which finally converge at the mitochondria and reduce ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Whereas the molecular mechanisms of conditioning in the left ventricle are well characterized, cardioprotection of the right ventricle is ...

Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension in Pregnancy: Experience from a Nationally Accredited Center

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
(1) Background: In pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), pregnancy is regarded a contraindication due to high maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. We report our experience in the management of pregnancies in PAH.

Recognizing pulmonary hypertension following pulmonary thromboendarterectomy: A practical guide for clinicians

Pulmonary Circulation, 2022
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a form of pulmonary hypertension (PH) arising from pulmonary vascular obstruction at varying levels within the pulmonary vascular bed, due to chronic pulmonary emboli.
