Contemporary treatment of right ventricular failure [PDF]

open access: yesJHLT Open
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a clinical syndrome resulting from structural and functional changes in the right ventricle (RV), leading to inadequate blood flow to the pulmonary circulation and elevated systemic venous pressures.

Right heart failure after left ventricular assist device: From mechanisms to treatments

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is a lifesaving option for patients with medical therapy-refractory advanced heart failure. Depending on the definition, 5–44% of people supported with an LVAD develop right heart failure (RHF), which is ...

Mechanism and Treatment of Right Ventricular Failure Due to Pulmonary Hypertension in Children [PDF]

open access: yesChildren
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).
