Abstract
The right-sided heart failure (RSHF) is a complex clinical syndrome including different pathogenic mechanisms and processes resulted from the right ventricle (RV) dysfunction and manifested with signs of heart failure (HF). Recently, there is a growing scientific interest in the right-sided acute and chronic heart abnormalities; this is due to growing knowledge in this field and development of novel diagnostic, therapeutic and pharmacological approaches to treatment of pulmonary hypertension that is a common cause of RSHF. Cardiac embryogenesis, anatomic particularities, difference and interdependence of RV and the left ventricle (LV) are described in the article in order to improve the knowledge on structure and function of both the right heart and the left heart. Discussion on pathophysiology, causes and clinical manifestations of acute RSHF (aRSHF) and chronic RSHF (cRSHF) should consider the right heart physiology. Pharmacological treatment should be targeted to ventricle pre-load, myocardial contractility and RV post-load, correction of pulmonary circulation and LV volume resulting in post-load reduction and improvement in the LV function. Patients with biventricular dysfunction should be treated according to current clinical guidelines on therapy of chronic HF. Vasoactive agents and diuretics have an important role for the treatment of RSHF as this is the basic therapy of pulmonary congestion both in aRSHF and cRSHF. Step-by-step therapeutic algorithm is given in the article.
