This study aims to characterize right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) in heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction and understand the cumulative prognostic value of abnormal RV ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects half of all patients with heart failure. While previously neglected, the right ventricle (RV) has sparked interest in recent years as a ...

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Congestive heart failure (CHF) and heart failure are the same thing. Both terms ...

Diastolic heart failure happens when the left ventricle becomes too stiff to fill with blood properly during rest. Right-sided heart failure isn't broken down into any specific types. When the ...

Chronic heart failure occurs when either the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both require elevated filling pressures to maintain cardiac output. Heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific ...

"To the best of our knowledge, it's the first time that an injectable biomaterial therapy has been evaluated to mitigate right ventricular heart failure," said Jervaughn D. Hunter, the paper's ...

meaning that even in contexts of healthy left ventricular (LV) function, the heart can only perform as well as its weakest link. In the setting of many human diseases such as heart failure and ...

right ventricular hypertrophy and eventual right ventricular heart failure. The vast majority of cases of pulmonic valve stenosis are congenital. The symptoms include those of right heart failure ...
