摘要
The management of right ventricular failure remains a significant challenge in cardiac surgery. To date, no single clinical study has encompassed all of the principles that can be called upon to manage this problem. This review deals with the physiological management components that may be of value to cardiac medical and surgical clinicians. (C) 2005 Lippincott Williams Wilkins.
