The Right Ventricle in Health and Disease provides a comprehensive
and up-to-date database and collection of the available information
which describes the structure and function of the normal right
ventricle. The right ventricular performance and function reserve
has now finally moved to the center of the stage as clinicians
recognize that the drugs presently used to treat patients with
severe pulmonary hypertension do not necessarily improve the
performance of the right ventricle and because the survival depends
on the right ventricular function that treatment strategies need to
be developed to primarily protect the right ventricle from failing.
In-depth chapters discuss right heart function and failure in
patients with congenital heart diseases, review modern imaging
techniques used to describe right ventricular form and function in
patients with right heart failure (including cardiac MRI and PET
scanning), describe ventricular interdependence: the left ventricle
in pulmonary hypertension and discuss the concept of the sick lung
circulation and its contribution to right heart failure. Treatment
strategies of chronic right heart failure including drugs and
mechanical devices are also discussed.
