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

Acute right heart failure: future perspective with the PERKAT RV pulsatile right ventricular support device [PDF]
Acute right heart failure is associated with impaired prognosis in cardiogenic shock. Since most pharmacological therapies are not evaluated for the failing right ventricle, or even contraindicated, there is a need for rapid minimal invasive circulatory ...

Right Heart Dysfunction in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction:the Impact of Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The mechanisms underlying the association between AF and RV dysfunction are incompletely understood.

Animal models of right heart failure. [PDF]
Right heart failure may be the ultimate cause of death in patients with acute or chronic pulmonary hypertension (PH). As PH is often secondary to other cardiovascular diseases, the treatment goal is to target the underlying disease.

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

Right Heart Failure and Cardiorenal Syndrome.
Cardiorenal syndrome is a complex interplay of dysregulated heart and kidney interaction that leads to multiorgan system dysfunction, which is not an uncommon occurrence in the setting of right heart failure. The traditional concept of impaired perfusion and forward flow recently has been modified to include the recognition of systemic venous ...

One-year outcomes after transcatheter insertion of an interatrial shunt device for the management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
Background—Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has a complex pathophysiology and remains a therapeutic challenge. Elevated left atrial pressure, particularly during exercise, is a key contributor to morbidity and mortality.

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