The right ventricular failure risk score a pre-operative tool for assessing the risk of right ventricular failure in left ventricular assist device candidates.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to develop a model that estimates the post-operative risk of right ventricular (RV) failure in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) candidates. BACKGROUND Right ventricular failure after LVAD surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but identifying LVAD candidates at risk for RV failure remains difficult. METHODS A prospectively collected L...
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 ...
متن کاملPathophysiology of right ventricular failure.
Right ventricular failure may be defined as the inability of the right ventricle of the heart to provide adequate blood flow through the pulmonary circulation at a normal central venous pressure. Critical care specialists encounter right ventricular failure routinely in their practice, but until recently right ventricular failure as a primary clinical entity received scant consideration. Indeed...
متن کاملApplication of centrifugal pump in right ventricular failure due to pulmonary artery hypertension. (A case report)
Background: It has not been yet developed a ost suitable method to treat right ventricular failure due to pulmonar artery hypertention resulted from ventricular arrhythia. Though some case reports about patients ready to heart transplant using left assist device or biventral assist device as bridge have been published in Journals, but nocase concerning application of centrifugal pump for treatm...
