Right Ventricular Function, Peripheral Edema, and Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illness

Kidney International Reports, 2017
The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients with echocardiographic measurements

Importance of Cx43 for Right Ventricular Function [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
In the heart, connexins form gap junctions, hemichannels, and are also present within mitochondria, with connexin 43 (Cx43) being the most prominent connexin in the ventricles. Whereas the role of Cx43 is well established for the healthy and diseased left ventricle, less is known about the importance of Cx43 for the development of right ventricular (RV)

Beta-blockers, left and right ventricular function, and in-vivo calcium influx in muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Beta-blockers are used to treat acquired heart failure in adults, though their role in early muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy is unclear. We treated 2 different dystrophic mouse models which have an associated cardiomyopathy (mdx: model for Duchenne ...

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

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 ...

MECHANISMS OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR FAILURE AND BIVENTRICULAR MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT

Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2014
The paper presents a review of the problems of mechanical circulatory support with left ventricular bypass in total cardiac failure. Dysfunction of right ventricular defines the high mortality on left ventricular device.

Evaluation of the right ventricular function in dogs with brachycephalic syndrome before and after rhinoplasty

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2022
Brachycephalic dogs are usually affected by primary and secondary anatomical changes in the airways that contribute to the brachycephalic syndrome. Chronically, these changes contribute to an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure and right cardiac ...

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

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 ...

Subtle right ventricular dysfunction in asymptomatic chronic heavy cigarette smokers: a speckle tracking case-control study

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2021
Background Chronic heavy cigarette smoking can affect the right ventriclular function. The standard echocardiography may not show early right ventricular functional changes, and a more sensitive measure is needed. The aim of this work was to evaluate the

What role does the right side of the heart play in circulation?

, 2006
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is an underestimated problem in intensive care. This review explores the physiology and pathophysiology of right ventricular function and the pulmonary circulation.
