Acute left ventricular dysfunction secondary to right ventricular septal pacing in a woman with initial preserved contractility: a case report [PDF]

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
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 ...

Right ventricular dyssynchrony in patients with pulmonary hypertension is associated with disease severity and functional class [PDF]

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2005
Background Abnormalities in right ventricular function are known to occur in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Objective Test the hypothesis that chronic elevation in pulmonary artery systolic pressure delays mechanical activation of the ...

The role of the right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2011
Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right ventricular function, and right heart failure is the main cause of death in

Assessment of Right Ventricular Function With CT and Echocardiography in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
Objectives:. Changes in right ventricular size and function are frequently observed in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The majority of patients who receive venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergo chest CT and ...

Right ventricular global dysfunction score: a new concept of right ventricular function assessment in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundRight ventricular (RV) function is currently being evaluated solely according to the properties of RV myocardium. We have tested a concept that in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), RV assessment should ...

Levosimendan, milrinone, and dobutamine in experimental acute pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary Circulation, 2021
Acute pulmonary embolism is a frequent condition in emergency medicine and potentially fatal. Cause of death is right ventricular failure due to increased right ventricular afterload from both pulmonary vascular obstruction and vasoconstriction ...
