leading to backward failure causing congestion in the systemic circulation5. RHF can be caused by pulmonary hypertension (PH), chronic pulmonary disease, ischemia, tricuspid valve disease or left-sided heart failure6.
As to the left atrial counterpart, it had not been explored until Roberts-Thomson et al reported it first in this issue of Heart Rhythm . Comparing 11 adult secundum-type patients with ASD (mean age 49 years) with 12 age-matched controls, they demonstrated the pathoelectrophysiological ...
Herein we report the case of a 60-year-old female patient who developed severe respiratory failure after right-sided pneumonectomy starting 2 hours after uneventful surgery. A computed tomographic scan revealed a completely congested left lower lobe. The underlying pathomechanism of this unique finding...
Nonetheless, CS patients with right-sided heart failure are more likely to present with hypotension [23]. When assessing the central venous pressure, a rise in pressures is common; this is to ensure a sufficient flow across the pulmonary circulation. Depending upon the circumstance and etiology, ...
