Pathophysiology of right ventricular failure

Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Right ventricular failure may be defined as the inability of the right ventricle of the heart to provide adequate blood flow through the pulmonary circulation at a normal central venous pressure. Critical care specialists encounter right ventricular failure routinely in their practice, but until recently right ventricular failure as a primary clinical ...

Acute Right Ventricular Failure

2014
Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a devastating syndrome caused by a variety of common diseases and conditions. Acute RV failure is caused by acute alterations in preload, afterload, and/or contractility. Ventricular interdependence and decreases in perfusion pressure make the RV particularly prone to acute failure.

Right Ventricular Failure: Pathophysiology and Treatment

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1985
The cardiac surgeon is faced with RV failure in two main situations: in isolation or in patients with left-sided cardiac assist. Adequate volume loading, correction of acidosis and oxygenation, cardiac pacing, pharmacologic agents, and systemic intra-aortic balloon pumping allow stabilization in most of these patients.

Right ventricular failure associated with left ventricular failure.

Cardiovascular clinics, 1987
RV and LV failure frequently coexist. Experimental evidence suggests that RV failure results from a primary insult to the right ventricle and an increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. LV failure results in an elevation of the left atrial pressure and thereby a reduction in the transpulmonary hydrostatic gradient.

Right ventricular failure following cardiac surgery

Coronary Artery Disease, 2005
The management of right ventricular failure remains a significant challenge in cardiac surgery. To date, no single clinical study has encompassed all of the principles that can be called upon to manage this problem. This review deals with the physiological management components that may be of value to cardiac medical and surgical clinicians.

Right Ventricular Failure After Cardiac Surgery

Cardiology Clinics, 2012
Right ventricular (RV) failure remains a major problem in cardiac surgery, particularly in the setting of heart transplantation and following institution of left ventricular support. Experimental studies have shown that RV function is derived from 2 sources: the free wall of the RV and the interventricular septum.

Management of Acute Right Ventricular Failure

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1990
The thin-walled right ventricle compensates poorly for any increase in afterload, and its output abruptly decreases with small elevations in pulmonary vascular resistance. In patients who have acute right ventricular (RV) dysfunction following bypass, it is, therefore, important to maintain pulmonary vascular resistance at normal or reduced levels. The

Novel Therapies for Right Ventricular Failure

Current Cardiology Reports
Traditionally viewed as a passive player in circulation, the right ventricle (RV) has become a pivotal force in hemodynamics. RV failure (RVF) is a recognized complication of primary cardiac and pulmonary vascular disorders and is associated with a poor prognosis.
