Heart failure therapies used in acquired left heart failure are often initiated in adults with right heart failure due to congenital heart disease, but the right ventricle differs substantially from the left ventricle, and the clinical evidence for this treatment strategy is lacking. In this review,...

The molecular mechanisms of progressive right heart failure are incompletely understood. In this study, we systematically examined transcriptomic changes occurring over months in isolated cardiomyocytes or whole heart tissues from failing right and left
Heart failure occurred in 22.2% of patients with transposition of the great arteries and a Mustard procedure, 32.3% of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, and 40% of Fontan-palliated patients. Symptomatic patients had significantly lower anaerobic thresholds (10.3 ...
In our series of single-ventricle palliation for cyanotic neonates with severe Ebstein's anomaly, survival is in excess of 60% versus certain mortality associated with medical management in patients with severe congestive heart failure and RV outflow tract obstruction.14 When possible, tricuspid valv...
Failure of the right ventricle (RV) can occur in both the acute and chronic thromboembolic disease states. A pulmonary embolus refers to an obstruction in the pulmonary arterial vasculature. Most commonly, this material comprises of thrombus as a form of
The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) has significantly increased in the last years, trying to offer a therapeutic alternative to heart transplantation, in light also to the significant heart donor shortage compared to the growing advanced heart failure population. Despite technological impr...
1 This document, however, focused on the left heart, with only a small section covering the right-sided chambers. Since this publication, there have been significant advances in the echocardiographic assessment of the right heart. In addition, there is a need for greater dissemination of details...
