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 ...

As increased pulmonary pressure affects the right ventricle, right heart failure can ensue. Right heart failure symptoms include lower extremity-dependent edema and hepatic congestion. At night ...

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

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 ...
