Respiratory Failure, Cor pulmonale: pulmonary hypertension is frequently present and may induce right ventricular failure, leading to hepatomegaly and peripheral oedema. Invest...
Ventricular Tachycardias, ECG criteria that support SVT over VT include a right bundle branch block pattern, varying bundle branch block, an R or qR pattern in V1, or an ectopic P wave preced...
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, Previously undiagnosed ARVC accounts for about 20% of SCDs. Right ventricular (RV) failure: ...
Revascularisation is beneficial for patients with a large amount of viable myocardium around the aneurysmal segment [ 2 ] . Right ventricular failure Right ventricle myoc...
Ventricular Septal Defect, Medical conditions in the mother, such as diabetes , use of cannabis or high alcohol intake in pregnancy, are also associated with increased chance of a baby hav...
Ventricular Septal Defect, In those with pulmonary hypertension, right axis deviation, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and right atrial hypertrophy (RA...
Ventricular Fibrillation, Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a cause of cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. The ventricular muscle fibres contract randomly causing a complete ...
Respiratory Failure, There may also be features of right-sided heart failure which can occur due to the strain on the heart. This is called 'cor pulmonale' and there...
Congestive Heart Failure, What causes heart failure? Heart failure is not an exact term. Heart failure is a general umbrella term and may develop as a complicati...
There may be a delayed recovery back to baseline which is more marked in right ventricular failure. Raised jugular venous pressure causes Heart failure. Constrictive...
Heart Failure Management, It has been shown to reduce cardiovascular death or hospitalisation for heart failure by 18%. [ 11 ] It also improved left ventricular functio...
Pulmonary congestion and symptoms due to right ventricular failure: weight gain, ankle oedema, right upper quadrant pain and ascites . The patient may have a history of rheumati...
Features of right ventricular failure predominate: raised JVP, with prominent x and y descents, hepatomegaly, oedema, ascites.
Pulmonary hypertension can lead to right ventricular dilation and tricuspid regurgitation. Right ventricular failure results in raised jugular venous pressure, liver congest...
Congestive Right ventricular failure. Congestive cardiac failure (CCF). Constrictive pericarditis. Budd-Chiari syndrome.
Synonyms: right-sided heart failure/right ventricular failure secondary to pulmonary disease What is cor pulmonale?
Heart Failure Diagnosis and Investigation, It is measured on transthoracic echocardiography, and also can be assessed by MRI, transoesophageal echocardiography and nuclear medicine scans. ...
Palliative Care of Heart Failure, It does not cause undue suppression of the respiratory drive but it does help to relieve distress and can have a pharmacological action to improve left v...
Acute Pituitary Failure, The presence of a new or deteriorating visual deficit or neurological deterioration should prompt further urgent imaging with a view to decompressive surgery (includi...
Fatigue and dyspnoea: due to right ventricular failure and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction. Palpitations and sudden cardiac death: due to paroxysmal supraventricular ...
