Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) affects half of all patients with heart failure. While previously neglected, the right ventricle (RV) has sparked interest in recent years as a ...

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Congestive heart failure (CHF) and heart failure are the same thing. Both terms ...

Chronic heart failure occurs when either the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both require elevated filling pressures to maintain cardiac output. Heart failure is a syndrome, not a specific ...

are common and tend to affect the right ventricle more than the left ventricle. In addition, there is heart muscle disease (cardiomyopathy). The clinical course is characterized by ventricular ...

Men with PAH had a larger right heart size and worse survival than women, independent of body size and functional status, a ...

The artificial intelligence model predicts patients’ heart disorders and risk of future heart failure using just an ...

In the setting of many human diseases such as heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, this means that right ventricular (RV) function predicts survival. Our group is interested in understanding how ...

right ventricular hypertrophy and eventual right ventricular heart failure. The vast majority of cases of pulmonic valve stenosis are congenital. The symptoms include those of right heart failure ...
