Right ventricular dysfunction persists following brief right ventricular pressure overload [PDF]
Acute pulmonary hypertension may cause right ventricular (RV) contractile failure. While it has been assumed that restoration of normal loading conditions after acute pulmonary hypertension is sufficient for complete recovery of RV function, this has not been rigorously examined.

Levosimendan, milrinone, and dobutamine in experimental acute pulmonary embolism
Acute pulmonary embolism is a frequent condition in emergency medicine and potentially fatal. Cause of death is right ventricular failure due to increased right ventricular afterload from both pulmonary vascular obstruction and vasoconstriction ...

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary embolism is an urgent health problem and causes high morbidity and mortality when diagnosis is delayed. In addition, detecting the severity of the disease early and starting appropriate treatment prevents complications and ...

Independent evaluation of a simple clinical prediction rule to identify right ventricular dysfunction in patients with shortness of breath [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Many patients have unexplained persistent dyspnea after negative computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA). We hypothesized that many of these patients have isolated right ventricular (RV) dysfunction from treatable causes.

Right Ventricular Function, Peripheral Edema, and Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illness
The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients with echocardiographic measurements

Right ventricular dysfunction after resuscitation predicts poor outcomes in cardiac arrest patients independent of left ventricular function. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Determination of clinical outcomes following resuscitation from cardiac arrest remains elusive in the immediate post-arrest period. Echocardiographic assessment shortly after resuscitation has largely focused on left ventricular (LV) function.

Biomarkers and Right Ventricular Dysfunction
Right ventricular failure is common in critically ill patients, as it frequently results from pulmonary embolism or pulmonary hypertension, and can complicate sepsis and the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Right ventricular dysfunction can be challenging to manage and is associated with poor outcomes in this wide array of disease.

Aortic stenosis and right ventricular dysfunction
AbstractAt the present time, right ventricular function in patients with aortic stenosis is insufficiently taken into account in the decision-making process of aortic valve replacement. The aim of our study was to evaluate significance of right ventricular dysfunction in patients with severe aortic stenosis by modern 3D echocardiographic methods.
