Right ventricular function in cardiovascular disease, part I: Anatomy, physiology, aging, and functional assessment of the right ventricle.
In 1616, Sir William Harvey was the first to describe the importance of right ventricular (RV) function in his seminal treatise, De Motu Cordis: “Thus the right ventricle may be said to be made for the sake of transmitting blood through the lungs, not for nourishing them.”1,2 For many years that followed, emphasis in cardiology was placed on left ventricular (LV) physiology, overshadowing the s...
متن کاملRight ventricular function in cardiovascular disease, part II: pathophysiology, clinical importance, and management of right ventricular failure.
Right ventricular (RV) function may be impaired in pulmonary hypertension (PH), congenital heart disease (CHD), and coronary artery disease and in patients with left-sided heart failure (HF) or valvular heart disease. In recent years, many studies have demonstrated the prognostic value of RV function in cardiovascular disease. In the past, however, the importance of RV function has been underes...
متن کاملCardiovascular disease in cotton workers: part I.
Since 1891 the Registrar General for England and Walds has recorded high death rates from cardiovascular diseases among cotton workers. Although the health of the cotton worker has been the subject of numerous investigations, there is no other evidence of either excessive mortality or morbidity from cardiovascular disease in the cotton trades. In this paper we attempt to elucidate this problem ...
متن کاملPrognostic value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance derived right ventricular function in patients with interstitial lung disease
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides non-invasive and more accurate assessment of right ventricular (RV) function in comparison to echocardiography. Recent study demonstrated that assessment of RV function by echocardiography was an independent predictor for mortality in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). The purpose of this study was to determine the prognost...
متن کاملEvaluation of Right Ventricular Function by Tissue Doppler Echocardiography in Asthmatic Children
BackgroundAsthma is the most chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in children and asthmatic patients can experience cardiac dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension and finally cor pulmonale later in life. We aimed to investigate Right Ventricular (RV) functions in asthmatic children by conventional and tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE).Materials and Methods Pulmonary function tests, con...
