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. ...

I understand your concern.Seems that your father is in a bad condition.What could have been the problem - at the very onset - is vague. Diabetic patients are prone for Tuberculosis and other bacterial infections that may cause fluids in lung. this is called pleural effusion, rather than ...

As the wall of right ventricle is thinner and more compliant as compared to the left ventricle, it can be increased in volume; however, this caused a decreased stroke volume. As a consequence of increased right atrial pressure, ascites, pleural, pericardial effusion, hepatomegaly and ...
Edemain the dependent regions of the body such as ankles. In the more advanced stages, patient can also get ascites and pleural effusion. Congestive organomegaly such as hepatomegaly. What is Left Sided Heart Failure? The inability of the heart to pump blood to adequately fulfill the metabolic...
RVF results from a structural or functional process that limits the right ventricle’s ability to effectively pump blood through the pulmonary circulation to maintain adequate filling of the left ventricle (LV) and cardiac output (CO) [9,22]. These processes cause derangements in RV preload, cont...
Second, the type of major hepatectomy performed was varied and multiple (i.e., it included right and/or left hepatectomies). Third, the cutoff for age was not always the same (range = 60–75). Our study provides a homogeneous series of consecutive patients older and younger than 70 ...
The left atrium often appears as a pleural or pericardial effusion or mass lesion. Echocardiography provides the evidence for diagnosis of GLA.doi:10.1016/j.case.2018.07.001Dixit, AyushiShariff, RayhanYin, PageRosenberg, LaurenVapnyar, Victoria...
