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

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 hemangioma causing right ventricular inflow obstruction and right heart failure

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2004
We report a patient who presented with symptoms of right heart failure. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a right ventricular mass, causing right ventricular inflow obstruction. Coronary angiography revealed a characteristic tumor blush. After successful surgical resection, histologic findings were consistent with a right ventricular hemangioma.

Pericardiotomy and right ventricular failure: a case report

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 2007
A 57-year-old woman developed cardiogenic shock secondary to right ventricular failure in the postoperative setting. Because of clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism, the patient was taken to the operating room for emergency thrombectomy. The patient improved dramatically after sternotomy and pericardiotomy, with no evidence of thrombus being found.

Assessment and treatment of right ventricular failure

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2013
Right 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,

Postoperative Right Ventricular Failure

2020
This chapter examines postoperative right ventricular (RV) failure. RV failure is not uncommon following cardiac surgery and often portends a worse clinical outcome. After establishing the diagnosis of RV failure, the central goal of treatment is to increase RV function in order to achieve adequate left ventricular preload and cardiac output.

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.
