Right-Sided Congestive Heart Failure: A Perplexing Etiology of Hyperammonemic EncephalopathyLead Author's Disclosures None Study Funding None Synopsis While the most common cause of hyperammonemia (HA) is a hepatic failure, rare cases occur in patients with normal liver function and no cirrhosis. ...

In etiology-specific management, the treatment options include early revascularization for RV infarction, thrombolysis for pulmonary embolism, antibiotics for endocarditis, and surgical repair. In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) involving the right ventricle, early reperfusion has been shown to im...
Pulmonary vascular remodelling may also result in pulmonary hypertension and right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale) [62]. Bronchiectasis may also add to the symptom burden [63]. Exacerbations COPD is also characterised by periodic acute worsening of symptoms beyond normal day-to-day variation, ...
174 Moreover, sleep apnea in patients with heart failure may also contribute substantially to alterations in RV function and size.175 These data suggest that clinical assessment of the right ventricle can add incrementally to the standard echocardiographic assessment in patients with left-sided heart ...
Right-sided heart failure (cor pulmonale) caused by chest deformity: Case report The case of a 27-year-old woman who suffered from severe kyphoscoliosis since childhood is reported. Death was caused by right-sided cardiac hypertrophy and insufficiency secondary to the chest deformity. Attention ...
These appearances are consistent with right atrial isomerism, where there is a failure to develop the intrinsic 'leftness' of the left-sided atrial chamber47. The heart is malpositioned to the right. (e–j) Coronal sections and three-dimensional reconstructions (ventral views) of wild-type ...
In recent years, interest in cardiac right sided compromise in heart failure (HF) due to dilated cardiomyopathy has increased, mainly because of its prognostic implications [1, 2]. The role and repercussions of right coronary artery circulation under these conditions in human being are lacking. In...
In adults with right-sided congenital heart disease, vasoplegia during and after cardiopulmonary bypass appears to be a frequent complication. The incidence of vasoplegia in the general adult and pediatric cardiac surgical population has been investigated, but the incidence in adult patients with right...
In left-sided heart failure with secondary PH, once maladaptive RV remodeling and dysfunction occur, the RVAC is also impaired. However, RVAC by invasively derived PVL by RHC are not routinely performed. As such, echocardiographic surrogates of RVAC have been proposed, including TAPSE/sPAP (...
