Right Ventricular Failure: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatment
The prognostic significance of the right ventricle (RV) has recently been recognised in several conditions, primarily those involving the left ventricle, the lungs and their vascular bed, or the right-sided chambers. Recent advances in imaging techniques

Right ventricular failure: Current strategies and future development. [PDF]
Right heart failure can be defined as a clinical syndrome consisting of signs and symptoms of heart failure resulting from right ventricular dysfunction. Function is normally altered due to three mechanisms: (1) pressure overload (2) volume overload, or (

Acute left ventricular dysfunction secondary to right ventricular septal pacing in a woman with initial preserved contractility: a case report [PDF]
Introduction Right ventricular apical pacing-related heart failure is reported in some patients after long-term pacing. The exact mechanism is not yet clear but may be related to left ventricular dyssynchrony induced by right ventricular apical pacing ...

Interest in the right ventricle has increased because of advances in pulmonary hypertension treatment, improved diagnostic technology, and increased implantation of left ventricular assist devices and other mechanical circulatory assist devices. Right ventricular dysfunction is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with chronic heart ...

Acute right ventricular failure
Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a serious clinical challenge not only in cardiology intensive care but in adult critical care in general. It is related not only to left ventricular failure but also to a number of other causes of pulmonary ...

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

Mechanical Circulatory Support for Right Ventricular Failure
Right ventricular (RV) failure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with in-hospital mortality rates estimated as high as 70–75%. RV failure may occur following cardiac surgery in conjunction with left ventricular failure, or may be ...

Mechanism and Treatment of Right Ventricular Failure Due to Pulmonary Hypertension in Children [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disorder characterized by obstructive changes in the pulmonary vasculature, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular (RV) strain, and eventual RV failure (RVF).

Usefulness of regional right ventricular and right atrial strain for prediction of early and late right ventricular failure following a left ventricular assist device implant: A machine learning approach [PDF]
Background: Identifying candidates for left ventricular assist device surgery at risk of right ventricular failure remains difficult. The aim was to identify the most accurate predictors of right ventricular failure among clinical, biological, and ...
