Acute right ventricular failure secondary to acutely increased right ventricular afterload
(acute cor pulmonale) is a life-threatening condition that may arise in different clinical …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by protein-rich alveolar edema,
reduced lung compliance and severe hypoxemia. Despite some evidence of improvements …

Introduction This is a state-of-the-art article of the diagnostic process, etiologies and
management of acute right ventricular (RV) failure in critically ill patients. It is based on a …

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 …

Introduction Right heart failure (RHF) is a clinical syndrome with impaired right ventricular
cardiac output due to a variety of etiologies including ischemia, elevated pulmonary arterial …

Objective To analyse the incidence and the impact on outcome of right ventricular failure
(RVF) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Patients and methods A …

The right ventricle (RV) provides sustained low-pressure perfusion of the pulmonary
vasculature, but is sensitive to changes in loading conditions and intrinsic contractility …

From the beginning of this century, clinicians started to pay more attention to the right
ventricular dysfunction. It is related to the thorough studying of pathologies, during which the …

Right ventricular failure (RVF) is an underestimated problem in intensive care. This review
explores the physiology and pathophysiology of right ventricular function and the pulmonary …

Pulmonary vascular dysfunction is associated with ARDS and leads to increased right-
ventricular afterload and eventually right-ventricular failure, also called acute cor pulmonale …
