Contemporary Evidence and Practice on Right Heart Catheterization in Patients with Acute or Chronic Heart Failure

Diagnostics
Heart failure (HF) has a global prevalence of 1–2%, and the incidence around the world is growing. The prevalence increases with age, from around 1% for those aged 10% for those aged 70 years or over.

The Impact of Right Ventricular Dysfunction on Length of Hospital Stay in Patients With Acute Heart Failure. [PDF]

Zagazig University Medical Journal, 2023
Background: Hospital length of stay (LOS) is a key determinant of heart failure hospitalization costs and performance of medical care quality. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction predicted poor outcome in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).

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.

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

Study of correlation between 2D echocardiographic assessment of right ventricle and outcome of acute heart failure patients

Heliyon, 2021
Background: Hospital length of stay (LOS) is a key determinant of heart failure hospitalization costs and performance of medical care quality. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction predicted poor outcome in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).

Virtual echocardiography screening tool to differentiate hemodynamic profiles in pulmonary hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
This study validated a novel virtual echocardiography screening tool (VEST), which utilized routinely reported echocardiography parameters to predict hemodynamic profiles in pulmonary hypertension (PH) and identify PH due to pulmonary vascular disease ...

Right heart failure before LVAD implantation predicts right heart failure after LVAD implantation – is it that easy?

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Right heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is common and associated with worse outcome. Prediction of RHF remains challenging.
