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...
متن کاملHeart transplantation in patients with extreme right ventricular failure.
OBJECTIVE Donor shortage and improved medical treatment of heart failure increase the prevalence of patients with extreme right ventricular failure and ascites to heart transplantation. The clinical outcome of heart transplantation in these patients has rarely been reported. Here, we sought to evaluate the clinical outcome of heart transplantation in patients with extreme right ventricular fail...
متن کاملRight ventricular systolic function in hypertensive heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure (HF) is a major cause of cardiovascular admissions and hypertensive heart failure (HHF) is the most common cause of HF admissions in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria inclusive. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is being increasingly recognized in HF and found to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in HF. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RV systoli...
متن کاملRight Ventricular Volumes in Patients with and without Heart Failure.
SINCE Starling first related the force of myocardial contraction to end-diastolic fiber length,' most studies have evaluated ventricular performance in terms of end-diastolic pressure. End-diastolic volume (EDV), a closer approximation to fiber length, has been generally neglected because satisfactory methods for measuring it in vivo were not available. Angiocardiographic technics, recently app...
