Looking Rightward in Acute Left Heart Failure
Patient management paradigms in heart failure (HF) are appropriately focused on left ventricular (LV) function, however, right ventricular (RV) structure and function play critical roles in cardiovascular health. Palazzuoli and colleagues report an interesting study in the current issue of the Journal which prospectively enrolled 381 patients presenting with acute HF. (1) The study population included both patients with HF and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and patients with preserved EF (HFpEF).
