Pulmonary hypertension is a multifactorial disease with a high morbidity and mortality. Right
ventricular function is the most important predictor of morbidity and mortality in patients …

Acute right heart failure in chronic precapillary pulmonary hypertension is characterised by a
rapidly progressive syndrome with systemic congestion resulting from impaired right …

Right heart dysfunction and failure is the principal determinant of adverse outcomes in
patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In addition to right ventricular (RV) …

Pulmonary hypertension, defined as an increase in mean arterial pressure> 20 mmHg, is a
chronic and progressive condition with high mortality and morbidity. Drug therapy of patients …

Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of both immediate
and long-term outcomes in valve surgeries. Levosimendan has proven beneficial in …

Right ventricular failure (RVF) is often caused by increased afterload and disrupted coupling
between the right ventricle (RV) and the pulmonary arteries (PAs). After a phase of adaptive …

Aims Acute decompensated right heart failure (RHF) in chronic precapillary pulmonary
hypertension is often typified by a swiftly progressive syndrome involving systemic …

Acute pulmonary embolism is a frequent condition in emergency medicine and potentially
fatal. Cause of death is right ventricular failure due to increased right ventricular afterload …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive and lethal cardiopulmonary disease. The
rise in right ventricular afterload leads to right ventricular hypertrophy and failure. Right …

Background Despite using vasoactive and pulmonary hypertension (PH) specific therapies,
the in‐hospital mortality of severe PH with right heart failure (RHF) is high. We conducted a …
