Right ventricular dysfunction in advanced heart failure.
For many years cardiologists were not interested in studying right ventricular function and the role of the right ventricle in heart failure and in other disease states has therefore been largely underestimated. More recently a consensus has grown on the critical role of right ventricular function in patients with advanced congestive heart failure. The estimation of right ventricular function i...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension and right ventricular function in advanced heart failure.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are frequently encountered in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). Both conditions aggravate prognosis and influence clinical decisions. Echocardiography is the screening tool of choice for pulmonary pressures and RV function, although invasive assessment of PH is necessary when advanced therapies are considered. Reversibi...
متن کاملIt is time to look at heart failure with preserved ejection fraction from the right side.
H eart failure (HF) with preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF; or HFpEF) is seen in approximately half of patients with HF and confers morbidity and mortality similar to that of HF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). 1 HFpEF has been characterized by abnormal LV dia-stolic function, abnormal LV-central vascular coupling, impaired systolic reserve and chrono...
متن کاملPrimary aldosteronism with right-dominant heart failure.
A 48 year-old obese male with hypertension was admitted to our department because of severe right-dominant heart failure. His heart rhythm was 2:1 atrial flutter and the left ventricle was diffusely hypertrophic and hypokinetic. Primary aldosteronism was diagnosed based on severe hypokalemia (2.6 mEq/L) and a low renin-high aldosterone state with hypertension despite the use of an angiotensin-I...
متن کاملNew-onset dyspnea and right heart failure.
tient’s hypoxemia worsened and he was transferred to the intensive care unit. A pulmonary artery catheter was inserted which revealed a pulmonary artery pressure of 64/24 mm Hg, a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 8 mm Hg, and a cardiac index of 3.7 l/min/m 2 . What is your diagnosis? A 65-year-old male was admitted to hospital with nausea, vomiting and dehydration. He had been diagnosed 6 ...
