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

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

, 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.

Right Ventricular Myocardial Adaptation Assessed by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Canine Models of Chronic Pulmonary Hypertension

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening disease in dogs characterized by an increase in pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and/or pulmonary vascular resistance.

Evaluation of right ventricular longitudinal strain in pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2023
ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the association between right ventricular longitudinal strain measured by two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) and right heart catheterization data in pediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension (

Evaluation of right ventricular function during liver transplantation with transesophageal echocardiography.

PLoS ONE, 2022
BackgroundThe pathophysiology of advanced liver cirrhosis may induce alterations in the circulatory system that may be challenging for the anesthesiologist to manage intraoperatively, and perioperative cardiovascular events are associated with worse ...

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]

, 2005
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

Evidence that conflict regarding size of haemodynamic response to interventricular delay optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy may arise from differences in how atrioventricular delay is kept constant. [PDF]

, 2014
Aims: Whether adjusting interventricular (VV) delay changes haemodynamic efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is controversial, with conflicting results.
