Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and the Failing Ventricle: Getting It Right
Right ventricular failure (RVF) remains the primary cause of death in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. We review the pathophysiology of RVF, including the remodeling and ventriculoarterial uncoupling that occurs when the failing right side of the heart is unable to compensate for a ris...
