Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are important predictors of prognosis in heart failure (HF). We investigated the relationship between RV dysfunction and CKD in ...

Table I summarizes common signs and symptoms associated with left vs. right ventricular heart failure. Presenting symptoms often include paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) with or without night ...

are common and tend to affect the right ventricle more than the left ventricle. In addition, there is heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy). The clinical course is characterized by ventricular ...

The normal ejection fraction for the left ventricle is 55% to 60%. There are two types of left-sided heart failure: Left-sided heart failure causes symptoms different from those of right-sided ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is manifest when increased ... in fluid retention and systemic venous congestion. Right HF symptoms include lower extremity-dependent edema.

Pulmonic valve stenosis occurs when the pulmonic valve is not able to open normally in systole. This results in right ventricular pressure overload, right ventricular hypertrophy and eventual ...

Diagnosis of RV arrhythmogenicity ... which results in high-pulmonary pressures and high right ventricular wall stress. This high RV wall stress may explain findings of troponin rise and transient RV ...
