Left-sided heart failureor left ventricular failure (LVF)is a reduction in the output from the left ventricle. The pressure in the left atrium increases as the oxygen-rich blood from the lungs are backed up since the left ventricle is not pushing out this blood fast enough or efficiently. ...
Right-side vs. Left-side Heart Failure When your heart is working normally, it pumps oxygen-rich blood through your lungs and to the rest of your body. The left ventricle, or left chamber, of the heart provides most of the heart’s pumping power. So when you have left-side heart fail...
Right-sided or right ventricular heart failure usually occurs as a result of left-sided failure. We report a very rare case of transition from right heart failure due to pulmonary embolism, followed by its resolution, to left heart failure due to Tako-tsubo syndrome within 48聽h of ...

Two cases of right lower lobe oedema are presented as a supposedly very rare sign of left heart failure after myocardial infarction in the presence of acute mitral regurgitation. Causes of unilateral oedema and its clinical relevance in the diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives are discussed, and ...

RATIONALE: Hyponatremia is associated with decompensated heart failure and poor prognosis in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine if hyponatremia is associated with right heart failure and worse prognosis in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH...
