Critical Care Nursing Quarterly
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a critical condition that significantly impacts morbidity and mortality in affected patients. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of RVF by discussing its background, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic studies, medical treatment, and mechanical assistive devices.

Acute Right Ventricular Failure
2014Acute 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 Assist Devices and the Surgical Treatment of Right Ventricular Failure
Cardiology Clinics, 1992Treatment of patients with severe right ventricular dysfunction follows a continuum of progressive therapies. If optimization of volume status and inotropic support do not adequately improve right ventricular function, higher levels of mechanical circulatory support are required.

Isolated right ventricular unloading for postcardiotomy right ventricular failure in a child
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 1995Severe right ventricular (RV) failure after total correction of double outlet RV (DORV) with pulmonary atresia was completely reversed with extracorporeal mechanical RV unloading in a 2.5-year-old child. The patient could be weaned after 168 h of RV assist device (RVAD) support using a centrifugal Bio-Medicus pump and was discharged from the hospital ...

Assessment and treatment of right ventricular failure
Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2013Right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex problem with poor outcomes. Diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion, because many of the signs and symptoms of this condition are nonspecific and can be acute or chronic. Identification of the underlying aetiology, which can include pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction,

Management of Acute Right Ventricular Failure
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1990The 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

The Pathobiology of Chronic Right Ventricular Failure
2014The final and therapeutically highly challenging chapter in the medical history of patients with severe pulmonary hypertension is right heart dysfunction and right ventricular failure (RVF), frequently leading to the death of the patient. Because RVF is potentially preventable and reversible, a deep understanding of the cellular and molecular ...
