The symptomatic and prognostic relevance of the right ventricle in a myriad of conditions,
including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), left heart failure, and after implantation of …

Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic factor in congestive heart failure and
pulmonary hypertension, but assessing RV function is a challenge because of the right …

Abstract Purpose of Review The right ventricle (RV) has a complex geometry and physiology
which is distinct from the left. RV dysfunction and failure can be the aftermath of volume …

The right ventricle (RV) has historically been an overlooked component of the heart, as it has
been perceived as a nonessential component of the myocardial pump and merely as a …

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 …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) adaptation to acute and chronic pulmonary hypertensive
syndromes is a significant determinant of short-and long-term outcomes. Although …

For decades, cardiologists have largely underestimated the role of the right heart in heart
failure due to left heart disease. Nowadays, the importance of evaluating right ventricular …

Right heart failure may result from dysfunctional right ventricular (RV) myocardium,
excessive load imposed on the right ventricle during systole and/or diastole, or obstruction to …

The right ventricle is neglected in clinical practice, both because it is difficult to assess and
because there is a lack of awareness of the pivotal role it plays in cardiac and pulmonary …

Although long neglected, the right side of the heart (RH) is now widely accepted as a pivotal
player in heart failure (HF) either with reduced or preserved ejection fraction. The chronic …
