Acute right ventricular failure: Diagnosis and treatment
Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 08/24/09

Werdan K et al. – Due to the increasing prevalence of predisposing conditions, right ventricular failure is increasingly encountered as the cause of cardiocirculatory decompensation. Analysis of biomarkers and newer echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters allow for a better characterization of right ventricular function, which is deemed difficult with imaging due to the complex anatomy of the right ventricle. Therapeutically, the treatment of the underlying cause is mandatory. Classical therapeutic options are supplemented by medications that allow selective steering of pulmonary vascular resistance and improve ventriculo–vascular coupling.
