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 کاملRight ventricular failure in congenital heart disease
Despite developments in surgical techniques and other interventions, right ventricular (RV) failure remains an important clinical problem in several congenital heart diseases (CHD). RV function is one of the most important predictors of mortality and morbidity in patients with CHD. RV failure is a progressive disorder that begins with myocardial injury or stress, neurohormonal activation, cytok...

Contact address: Ruxandra Jurcut, Cardiology Department, Emergency Institute for Cardiovascular Diseases “Prof. Dr. C. C. Iliescu”, Sos. Fundeni 258, Sector 2 022328 Bucuresti, Romania e-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION In pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular (RV) function is correlated with functional status and is a strong predictor of survival, whereas the pulmonary artery (PA)...
متن کاملRight ventricular failure
Whilst failure of the left ventricle (LV) has been the subject of intense interest for decades, failure of the right ventricle (RV) has tended to receive scant attention. Indeed, the RV was long considered a relatively passive conduit for blood flow between the systemic and pulmonary circulations. More recently, the importance of the RV in maintaining haemodynamic stability and organ function h...
متن کاملAcute right ventricular failure
Correspondence to: Giedrė Bakšytė, Department of Cardiology, Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences, Eivenių 2, 50009 Kaunas, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a serious clinical challenge not only in cardiology intensive care but in adult critical care in general. It is related not only to left ventricular failure but also ...
