The right ventricle

2011
Because the right ventricle (RV) has a much more complex geometry compared to the left ventricle, assessment of its volume and function is more challenging using two-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic image planes. This is due to the fact that no simple three-dimensional (3D) geometric model accurately represents this chamber even in the absence of ...

The Right Ventricle in Sepsis

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2008
Right ventricular dysfunction is common in sepsis and septic shock because of decreased myocardial contractility and elevated pulmonary vascular resistance despite a concomitant decrease in systemic vascular resistance. The mainstay of treatment for acute right heart failure includes treating the underlying cause of sepsis and reversing circulatory ...

The Right Ventricle

2010
The right ventricle is the most anteriorly situated cardiac chamber, lying directly behind the sternum. It “wraps around” the left ventricle (Fig. 8.1). The internal appearance of the right ventricle is typical. The shape of the cavity can be imaged as an open “V” with a wide muscular separation between the tricuspid and the pulmonic valves (Fig. 8.2).

The Right Ventricle

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1989
This unusual book is a collection of 17 chapters by 25 authors on a variety of topics that have in common some aspect of the right ventricle. Topics include cardiopulmonary physiology, congenital heart disease, pulmonary disease, myocardial infarction, cardiac trauma, and postoperative care in cardiac surgery.

Rupture of the Right Ventricle

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
A rupture of the right ventricle was associated with isolated myocardial infarction of this ventricle. According to a review of the medical literature, this is a rare condition, most ruptures of the right ventricle either being traumatic in origin or following extensive infarction of the left ventricle or interventricular septum or both of the latter.

Rocks in the right ventricle

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1969
Abstract Clinical and necropsy findings are described in a 56 year old man who was found to have multiple rocks in the right ventricular cavity and a congenitally narrowed infundibulum. The size, distribution and location of the rocks in the right ventricle appear unique. Possible causes of the rocks in the heart are speculated upon.

Function of the Right Ventricle

2021
It is becoming increasingly clear that the right ventricle plays an important role in the circulatory system. Especially in disease states, right ventricular (RV) function may be of great importance. As such, knowledge on RV function in both health and disease is essential for clinicians. This chapter provides current available knowledge on RV function,

The Right Ventricle

1975
A. If, for descriptive purposes, the septal wall is considered a part of the aorto-ventricular unit, the right ventricle has anterior, posterolateral, and inferior walls, and tricuspid and pulmonary ostia. We then can describe five attachments: (I) anterior, (2) posterolateral, (3) inferior, (4) tricuspid or posterior, and (5) pulmonary or superior.

Acute cor pulmonale in ARDS: rationale for protecting the right ventricle.

Chest, 2015
The ventilatory strategy for ARDS has been regularly amended over the last 40 years as knowledge of the pathophysiology of ARDS has increased. Initially focused mainly on the lung with the objectives of "opening the lung" and optimizing arterial oxygen ...

RADIOLOGY OF THE RIGHT VENTRICLE

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1999
RV changes may be generalized into dilatation and hypertrophy. Increased preload results in ventricular dilatation. Increased afterload causes hypertrophy. Change in the shape of the RV resulting from increased afterload and myocardial hypertrophy induces tricuspid regurgitation, which superimposes changes of chamber dilatation onto those of ...
