Theright ventricleis distinct from theleft ventricleinanatomy, physiology, andpathophysiology. • The failed right ventricle is challenging to manage and is associated with higher mortality. • Short-term percutaneous devices can be used to support the right ventricle but require careful selection. ...
The right ventricle (RV) and left ventricle (LV) have different developmental origins, which likely plays a role in their chamber-specific response to physiological and pathological stress. RV dysfunction is encountered frequently in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and right heart abnormal...
Recent research has shed new light on the importance of the right ventricle (RV) in normal cardiac physiology and its prominent role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). The RV was previously overshadowed by the left ventricle (LV), whose simpler anatomy conforms better to geometric mo...
Right ventricular cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging: normal anatomy and spectrum of pathological findings BackgroundThe right ventricle (RV) has been defined as the "forgotten chamber", as its role in cardiac physiopathology has long been underestimated.

Figure 2. Pressure–volume loops comparing the left ventricle (transparent) and right ventricle (gray). It is visible that the right ventricle creates substantially lower pressures, among other differences. (Adopted with permission from https://derangedphysiology.com by Alex Yartsev [24]). Addition...
LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle. Using the 3DT software and with the cineloop frozen to the end-diastolic frame, the endocardial border was manually traced in the biplane views and adjusted in the 3 coronal planes (Fig. 1). The epicardial border was then adjusted to correspond...
What is the main function of the left and right atria? The function of the right atrium is to receive deoxygenated blood from the body. It delivers this to the right ventricle which pumps this blood to the lungs for oxygenation. The function of the left atrium is to receive oxygenated bloo...
Left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunctions have been studied extensively and are described as main causes of heart failure (HF)1,2,3, whereas less attention has been paid to systolic and diastolic dysfunctions of the right ventricle (RV). In the literature, the role played by RV has...
