Advanced Management of Right Heart Failure: An Illustrative Case
Right heart failure (RHF) is a serious condition characterized by the inability of the right ventricle (RV) to generate sufficient output for pulmonary circulation, leading to systemic congestion and hypoperfusion. Proper management of RHF is essential to improve prognosis and quality of life, requiring individualized treatment based on hemodynamic assessment. This article reviews pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutic options for RHF, including strategies for preload optimization, afterload reduction, and advanced circulatory support. Additionally, it presents a clinical case of a [...]
