In right-sided heart failure, the heart’s right ventricle is too weak to pump enough blood to the lungs. As blood builds up in the veins, fluid gets pushed out into the tissues in the body. Right-sided heart failure symptoms include swelling and shortness of breath.
The right ventricle, or right chamber, moves “used” blood from your heart back to your lungs to be resupplied with oxygen. So when you have right-side heart failure, the right chamber has lost...
Right heart failure (RHF) is a clinical syndrome in which symptoms and signs are caused by dysfunction of the right heart structures (predominantly the right ventricle [RV], but also the tricuspid valve apparatus and right atrium) or impaired vena cava flow, resulting in impaired ability of the right heart to perfuse the lungs at normal central ...
The authors discuss the mechanisms, clinical presentation, and evaluation of right ventricular failure, as well as its management.
The diverse causes of right-sided heart failure (RHF) include, among others, primary cardiomyopathies with right ventricular (RV) involvement, RV ischemia and infarction, volume loading caused by cardiac lesions associated with congenital heart disease and valvular pathologies, and pressure loading resulting from pulmonic stenosis or pulmonary h...
Right-sided heart failure develops when the right side of the heart does not pump blood as well as it should be, causing blood to back up into the venous system and limiting how much blood the heart can pump per minute.
Right-sided heart failure involves the part of the heart responsible for pumping blood to the lungs and delivering oxygen to your organs. Find out what causes right-sided heart failure,...
