Imaging right ventricular shape and remodelling.
The development of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and failure is a significant clinical problem in patients with congenital heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension. The RV remodels when exposed to abnormal loading conditions and when the intrinsic myocardial dysfunction is present. After congenital heart surgery this remodelling process is further influenced by the effect of right ...
متن کاملLack of right ventricular remodelling after surgical ventricular restoration
Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of long-term outcome in heart failure patients undergoing surgical ventricular restoration (SVR). RV assessment is therefore a pivotal step in the selection of patient candidates for SVR and during follow up. While the impact of SVR on left ventricle (LV) is currently described in terms of both functional and morphological ...
متن کاملVascular and right ventricular remodelling in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
In chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) increased pulmonary vascular resistance is caused by fibrotic organisation of unresolved thromboemboli. CTEPH mainly differs from pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) by the proximal location of pulmonary artery obliteration, although distal arteriopathy can be observed as a consequence of non-occluded area over-perfusion. Accordingly, t...
متن کاملRight ventricular reverse remodelling after balloon pulmonary angioplasty.
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has been reported to improve haemodynamics and functional capacity, with an acceptable risk, in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are not candidates for pulmonary endarterectomy. However, right ventricular (RV) function, an important predictor in CTEPH, remains to be elucidated. We aimed to examine the impact of BPA on RV...
متن کاملRight ventricular plasticity and functional imaging
Right ventricular (RV) function is a strong independent predictor of outcome in a number of distinct cardiopulmonary diseases. The RV has a remarkable ability to sustain damage and recover function which may be related to unique anatomic, physiologic, and genetic factors that differentiate it from the left ventricle. This capacity has been described in patients with RV myocardial infarction, pu...
