The right ventricle (RV) faces major changes in loading conditions associated with
cardiovascular and pulmonary vascular disorders. Despite major pharmacological advances …

RV function may be impaired either by primary right sided heart disease, or secondary to left
sided cardiomyopathy or valvar heart disease. 2 In addition, it should be considered that RV …

Background: Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) and pulmonary hypertension have been
recognized as two important prognostic features in patients with left side heart failure …

Right heart function is a significant determinant of outcomes across a variety of aetiologies of
right ventricular (RV) dysfunction. Right heart failure syndrome is characterised by the …

Right ventricular (RV) failure (RVF) has garnered significant attention in recent years
because of its negative impact on clinical outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension …

Objectives: This study sought to determine the prevalence, correlates, and impact on cardiac
mortality of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Background …

The Third International Right Heart Failure Summit (Boston, MA) convened a group of
international clinical and scientific experts in pulmonary vascular disease and right heart …

Right ventricular (RV) failure determines outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension,
congenital heart diseases and in left ventricular failure. In 2006, the Working Group on …

A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of right ventricular failure will lead to
the development of new strategies for the diagnosis and management of right ventricular …

After years of relative neglect, the role of the right ventricle in maintaining circulatory
homeostasis is now generally recognized. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a frequent …
