摘要：
Right heart failure most commonly results from the complication of left heart failure (systolic or nonsystolic dysfunction) or pulmonary hypertension. Over the past decade, greater attention has been paid to the role of right ventricular failure in the morbidity and mortality associated with cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension. The right ventricle is distinct from the left ventricle not only in its spatial localization, but also in its response to increased afterload and signaling mechanisms. This article discusses the role of right ventricular failure in the setting of heart failure as well as the clinical diagnosis and management of right ventricular failure.
