Echocardiographic diagnosis, management and monitoring of pulmonary embolism with right heart thrombus in a patient with myotonic dystrophy: a case report

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2010
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common disease which frequently results in life-threatening right ventricular (RV) failure. High-risk PE, presenting with hypotension, shock, RV dysfunction or right heart thrombus is associated with a high mortality ...

Acute right heart failure: future perspective with the PERKAT RV pulsatile right ventricular support device

open access: yesTherapeutic Advances in Cardiovascular Disease, 2020
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 ...

Plasma urocortin 1 in human heart failure.

open access: yes, 2009
The urocortins are emerging as potentially important contributors to neurohumoral regulation of the circulation with recent reports attributing a powerful array of hemodynamic, renal, and neurohumoral effects to the urocortins in cardiac failure.

A retrospective observational study investigating the factors associated with right heart failure in patients with primary acute pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis

open access: yesJournal of General and Family Medicine, 2020
Background The relationship between the risk of right heart failure in primary acute pulmonary embolism after embolization and the residual thrombus sites in the pelvis and lower limbs is not clear.

The brain in heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
After atrial fibrillation, heart failure is the second most frequent cardiac association of stroke. Deteriorating left ventricular systolic function appears to increase the risk of cardioembolic stroke in heart failure.

Prognostic role of pulmonary arterial capacitance in advanced heart failure

open access: yes, 2012
Background-Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction frequently occurs and independently prognosticates in left-sided heart failure. It is not clear which RV afterload measure has the greatest impact on RV function and prognosis.

Modifiable lifestyle factors and heart failure: A Mendelian randomization study

open access: yes, 2020
Background: Lifestyle factors may be important targets in the prevention of heart failure. The current knowledge on the relationship between lifestyle factors and heart failure originates mostly from observational studies. The objective of this study was

Heart 'omics' in AGEing (HOMAGE): design, research objectives and characteristics of the common database. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Heart failure is common in older people and its prevalence is increasing. The Heart 'omics' in AGEing (HOMAGE) project aims to provide a biomarker approach that will improve the early diagnosis of heart failure.

Right heart failure after chemotherapy

open access: yesCleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, 1991
Cardiotoxicity associated with chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of cancer is well-documented. Usually this cardiotoxicity presents as a distinct syndrome in which the left ventricle is more seriously affected than the right ventricle. A case of severe right-sided ventricular dysfunction shortly after an aggressive cycle of chemotherapy for

Sex Differences in Right Ventricular, Pulmonary Vascular, and Integrated Hemodynamic Measures of Cardiac Function in HFpEF and HFrEF

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Sex differences in clinical presentations of heart failure (HF) are pervasive, yet differences in invasive hemodynamic measures across HF subtypes remain incompletely characterized. Understanding these distinctions is critical, as sex‐specific
