ACUTE RIGHT VENTRICULAR FAILURE
From the beginning of this century, clinicians started to pay more attention to the right ventricular dysfunction. It is related to the thorough studying of pathologies, during which the right ventricular dysfunction plays the key role, such as pulmonary

Response to pulmonary arterial hypertension drug therapies in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors. [PDF]
The age at diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and the prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors are increasing. We sought to determine whether the response to drug therapy was influenced by CV risk factors in PAH patients. We studied

Right Ventricular-pulmonary Arterial Coupling in Pulmonary Hypertension: Application Advances
Prognosis in pulmonary hypertension is closely associated with right heart function. In the early stage of pulmonary hypertension, the right ventricle can maintain the normal blood flow of the pulmonary circulation by increasing its contractility. As the

Circulatory support for right ventricular dysfunction
New modes of circulatory support for right ventricular dysfunction have recently been described. The present study compared the effectiveness of pulmonary artery balloon counterpulsation with a right ventricular assist device for support of surgically induced right ventricular dysfunction.

Cavopulmonary assist for the failing Fontan circulation: impact of ventricular function on mechanical support strategy [PDF]
Mechanical circulatory support--either ventricular assist device (VAD, left-sided systemic support) or cavopulmonary assist device (CPAD, right-sided support)--has been suggested as treatment for Fontan failure.

Mechanisms of Transplant Right Ventricular Dysfunction
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction remains the leading cause of early mortality after cardiac transplantation. The effect of brain death and subsequent hypothermic cardioplegic arrest and storage on subsequent post-transplant right ventricular function was examined.Right ventricular dysfunction in the donor heart usually is attributed to failure of the

Do patients with suspected heart failure and preserved left ventricular systolic function suffer from "diastolic heart failure" or from misdiagnosis? A prospective descriptive study [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: To characterise the clinical features of patients with suspected heart failure but preserved left ventricular systolic function to determine if they have other potential causes for their symptoms rather than being diagnosed with 'diastolic ...
