Background and Purpose: The diverse causes of right-sided heart failure (RHF) include,
among others, primary cardiomyopathies with right ventricular (RV) involvement, RV …

In this guideline, the International Right Heart Foundation Working Group moves a step
forward to develop a common language to describe the development and defects that …

Aims Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is an important determinant of functional status and
survival in various diseases states. Data are sparse on the epidemiology and outcome of …

The Canadian Cardiovascular Society published a comprehensive set of recommendations
on the diagnosis and management of heart failure in January 2006. Based on feedback …

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 …

There is an unmet need for effective treatment strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality in
patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Until recently, attention in …

Right-sided heart failure (RHF) occurs from impaired contractility of the right ventricle (RV)
caused by pressure, volume overload, or intrinsic myocardial contractile dysfunction leading …

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 …

Aim Right heart function is not well characterized in patients with heart failure and preserved
ejection fraction (HFpEF). The goal of this study was to examine the haemodynamic, clinical …

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 …
