left heart failure is most often the cause of right heart failure. Thus, the concurrent presence of both conditions gives a clinical picture with a plenty of shared symptoms and signs. The frequently seen symptoms that give the physicians a clue about the disease are,...
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 ...
How can left heart failure cause right heart failure? Discuss the two main types of heart failure and what causes them. What is the most common cause of left-sided heart failure? What distinguishes a heart attack from heart failure?

To review recent publications on right heart failure developing early and late after implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). Whereas use of the newer continuous flow devices is associated with improved outcomes, right heart failure remains a considerable challenge. Recent studies have pr...
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...
failure results from structural or functional processes that limit the right ventricle’s ability to maintain adequate cardiac output. It is commonly seen as the result of left heart failure, acute pulmonary embolism, progression or decompensation of pulmonary hypertension, sepsis, acute lung injury, ...
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome: ashen color, rapid and difficult breathing, inability to eat. Obstruction defects: cyanosis (skin that is discolored blue), chest pain, tiring easily, dizziness or fainting, congestive heart failure, and high blood pressure. ...
In patients with heart failure, interventions to reduce elevated left atrial pressure improve symptoms and reduce the risk of hospital admission. We aimed to assess the safety and potential efficacy of therapeutic left-to-right interatrial shunting in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection ...
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in a Patient with Aortic Stenosis. So, another advantage of the chest X-ray is that it can give the dimensions of the cavities of the heart: left and right ventricle and left and right atriums. View chapter Chapter Other Cardiac Masses Essential Echocardiography ...
