Right heart failure can be defined as a clinical syndrome consistent of signs and symptoms
of heart failure resulting from right ventricular dysfunction. Function is normally altered due to …

Right ventricular failure is clinically significant and merits further dedicated study.
Parameters of right ventricular dysfunction can be assessed noninvasively. An approach to …

Right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex problem with poor outcomes. Diagnosis requires
a high degree of clinical suspicion, because many of the signs and symptoms of this …

The function of the right ventricle (RV) in heart failure (HF) has been mostly ignored until

The prognostic significance of the right ventricle (RV) has recently been recognised in
several conditions, primarily those involving the left ventricle, the lungs and their vascular …

Right ventricular failure is the subject of renewed attention as the importance of RV function
in a variety of disease states has been recognized. The RV is highly compliant, and is able …

Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex clinical syndrome that results from many
causes. Research efforts have disproportionately focused on the failing left ventricle, but …

Millions of American adults suffer from right heart failure (RHF), a condition associated with
high rates of hospitalization, organ failure, and death. There is a multitude of etiologies and …

In the last decade, there has been renewed interest in the study of the right ventricle. It is
now well established that right ventricular function is a strong predictor of mortality, not only …

The number of adult patients with a systemic right ventricle (RV) is steadily increasing.
Survival is relatively good in these patients, but deterioration of the systemic RV seems …
