Abstract
BACKGROUND Right ventricular (RV) function plays a critical role in the pathophysiology and acute prognosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). We analyzed the temporal changes of RV function in the cohort of a prospective multicentre study investigating if an early switch to oral anticoagulation in patients with intermediate-risk PE is effective and safe. METHODS Echocardiographic and laboratory examinations were performed at baseline (PE diagnosis), 6 days and 6 months. Echocardiographic parameters were classified into categories representing RV size, RV free wall/tricuspid annulus motion, RV pressure overload and right atrial (RA)/central venous pressure. RESULTS RV dysfunction based on any abnormal echocardiographic parameter was present in 84% of patients at baseline. RV dilatation was the most frequently abnormal finding (40.6%), followed by increased RA/central venous pressure (34.6%), RV pressure overload (32.1%), and reduced RV free wall/tricuspid annulus motion (20.9%). As early as day 6, RV size remained normal or improved in 260 patients (64.7%), RV free wall/tricuspid annulus motion in 301 (74.9%), RV pressure overload in 297 (73.9%), and RA/central venous pressure in 254 (63.2%). At day 180, the frequencies slightly increased. The median NT-proBNP level decreased from 1448 pg/ml at baseline to 256.5 on day 6 and 127 on day 180. CONCLUSION In the majority of patients with acute intermediate-risk PE switched early to a direct oral anticoagulant, echocardiographic parameters of RV function normalised within 6 days and remained normal throughout the first 6 months. Almost one in four patients, however, continued to have evidence of RV dysfunction over the long term.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the leading cause of in-hospital death and the third most frequent cause of cardiovascular death. The clinical presentation of PE is variable, and choosing the appropriate treatment for individual patients can be challenging. Traditionally, treatment of PE has involved a choice of anticoagulation, thrombolysis or surgery; however, a range of percutaneous interventional technologies have been developed that are under investigation in patients with intermediate-high-risk or high-risk PE. These interventional technologies include catheter-directed thrombolysis (with or without ultrasound assistance), aspiration thrombectomy and combinations of the aforementioned principles. These interventional treatment options might lead to a more rapid improvement in right ventricular function and pulmonary and/or systemic haemodynamics in particular patients. However, evidence from randomized controlled trials on the safety and efficacy of these interventions compared with conservative therapies is lacking. In this Review, we discuss the underlying pathophysiology of PE, provide assistance with decision-making on patient selection and critically appraise the available clinical evidence on interventional, catheter-based approaches for PE treatment. Finally, we discuss future perspectives and unmet needs.

Pulm Circ 2023; 13:e12309. [PMID: 38045097 PMCID: PMC10689890 DOI: 10.1002/pul2.12309] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2023] [Revised: 10/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) still remains a life-threatening disorder with poor prognosis. The right ventricle (RV) adapts to the increased afterload by a series of prognostically significant morphological and functional changes, the adaptive nature should also be understood in the context of ventricular interdependence. We hypothesized that left ventricle (LV) underfilling could serve as an important imaging marker for identifying maladaptive changes and predicting clinical outcomes in PAH patients. We prospectively enrolled patients with PAH who underwent both cardiac magnetic resonance and right heart catheterization between October 2013 and December 2020. Patients were categorized into four groups based on their LV and RV mass/volume ratio (M/V). LV M/V was stratified using the normal value (0.7 g/mL for males and 0.6 g/mL for females) to identify patients with LV underfilling (M/V ≥ normal value), while RV M/V was stratified based on the median value. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the composite endpoints included all-cause mortality and heart failure-related readmissions. A total of 190 PAH patients (53 male, mean age 37 years) were included in this study. Patients with LV underfilling exhibited higher NT-proBNP levels, increased RV mass, larger RV but smaller LV, lower right ventricular ejection fraction, and shorter 6-min walking distance. Patients with LV underfilling had a 2.7-fold higher risk of mortality than those without and LV M/V (hazard ratio [per 0.1 g/mL increase]: 1.271, 95% confidence interval: 1.082-1.494, p = 0.004) was also independent predictors of all-cause mortality. Moreover, patients with low LV M/V had a better prognosis regardless of the level of RV M/V. Thus, LV underfilling is an independent predictor of adverse clinical outcomes in patients with PAH, and it could be an important imaging marker for identifying maladaptive changes in these patients.

Abstract
The significant advancement in cardiac imaging in recent years led to improved diagnostic accuracy in identifying the specific causes of heart failure and also provided physicians with guidelines for appropriately managing patients with heart failure. Diseases that were once considered rare are now more easily detected with the aid of cardiac imaging. Various cardiac imaging techniques are used to evaluate patients with heart failure, and each technique plays a distinct yet complementary role. This review aimed to discuss the comprehensive role of different types of cardiac imaging in the management of heart failure.

Abstract
3-Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (Pdk1) as a serine/threonine protein kinase plays a critical role in multiple signaling pathways. Analysis of the gene expression omnibus database showed that Pdk1 was significantly downregulated in patients with heart diseases. Gene set enrichment analysis of the proteomics dataset identified apoptotic- and metabolism-related signaling pathways directly targeted by Pdk1. Previously, our research indicated that Pdk1 deletion-induced metabolic changes might be involved in the pathogenesis of heart failure; however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that deficiency of Pdk1 resulted in apoptosis, oxidative damage, and disturbed metabolism, both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, profiling of metabonomics by 1 H-NMR demonstrated that taurine was the major differential metabolite in the heart of Pdk1-knockout mice. Taurine treatment significantly reduced the reactive oxygen species production and apoptosis, improved cardiac function, and prolonged the survival time in Pdk1 deficient mice. Proteomic screening identified solute carrier family 6 member 6 (Slc6a6) as the downstream that altered taurine levels in Pdk1-expression cells. Consistently, cellular apoptosis and oxidative damage were rescued by Slc6a6 in abnormal Pdk1 expression cells. These findings collectively suggest that Pdk1 deficiency induces heart failure via disturbances in taurine homeostasis, triggered by Slc6a6.

Abstract
Background Chronic respiratory failure and heart involvement may occur in Duchenne muscular dystrophy. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of the right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Methods and Results We studied 90 genetically proven patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy from 2010 to 2019, to obtain respiratory function and Doppler echocardiographic RV systolic function. Prognostic value was assessed in terms of death and cardiac events. The median age was 27.5 years, and median forced vital capacity was at 10% of the predicted value: 83 patients (92%) were on home mechanical ventilation. An RV systolic dysfunction was found in 46 patients (51%). In patients without RV dysfunction at inclusion, a left ventricular systolic dysfunction at inclusion was associated with a higher risk of developing RV dysfunction during follow-up with an odds ratio of 4.5 (P=0.03). RV systolic dysfunction was significantly associated with cardiac events, mainly acute heart failure (62%) and cardiogenic shock (23%). In a multivariable Cox model, the adjusted hazard ratio was 4.96 (95% CI [1.09-22.6]; P=0.04). In terms of death, we found a significant difference between patients with RV dysfunction versus patients without RV dysfunction in the Kaplan-Meier curves (log-rank P=0.045). Conclusions RV systolic dysfunction is frequently present in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and is associated with increased risk of cardiac events, irrespective of left ventricular dysfunction and mechanical ventilation.

Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is often caused by increased afterload and disrupted coupling between the right ventricle (RV) and the pulmonary arteries (PAs). After a phase of adaptive hypertrophy, pressure-overloaded RVs evolve towards maladaptive hypertrophy and finally ventricular dilatation, with reduced stroke volume and systemic congestion. In this article, we review the concept of RV-PA coupling, which depicts the interaction between RV contractility and afterload, as well as the invasive and non-invasive techniques for its assessment. The current principles of RVF management based on pathophysiology and underlying etiology are subsequently discussed. Treatment strategies remain a challenge and range from fluid management and afterload reduction in moderate RVF to vasopressor therapy, inotropic support and, occasionally, mechanical circulatory support in severe RVF.

Proportion of right ventricular failure and echocardiographic predictors in continuous-flow left ventricular assist device: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023; 39:170-181. [PMID: 37525703 PMCID: PMC10387004 DOI: 10.1007/s12055-022-01447-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Right ventricular failure (RVF) in patients with a continuous-flow left ventricle assist device (CF-LVAD) is associated with higher incidence of mortality. This systematic review aims to assess the overall proportion of RVF and the pre-operative echocardiographic parameters which are best correlating to RVF. Methods A systematic research was conducted between 2008 and 2019 on MEDLINE, EMBASE, PUBMED, UPTODATE, OVID, COCHRANE LIBRARY, and Google Scholar electronic databases by performing a PRISMA flowchart. All observational studies regarding echocardiographic predictors of RVF in patients undergoing CF-LVAD implantation were included. Results A total number of 19 observational human studies published between 2008 and 2019 were included. We identified 524 RVF patients out of a pooled final population of 1741 patients. The RVF overall proportion was 28.25% with 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.24-0.34. The highest variability of perioperative echocardiographic parameters between the RVF and no right ventricular failure (NO-RVF) groups has been found with tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), fractional area change (FAC), and right ventricular global longitudinal strain (RVGLS). Their standardized mean deviation (SMD) was - 0.33 (95% CI - 0.54 to - 0.11; p value 0.003), - 0.34 (95% CI - 0.53 to - 0.15; p value 0.0001), and 0.52 (95% CI 0.79 to 0.25; p value 0.0001), respectively. Conclusions The echocardiographic predictors of RVF after CF-LVAD placement are still uncertain. However, there seems to be a trend of statistical correlation between TAPSE, FAC, and RVGLS with RVF event after CF-LVAD placement.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) represents a broad spectrum of disease states, resulting from the interaction between an acute precipitant and a patient's underlying cardiac substrate and comorbidities. Valvular heart disease (VHD) is frequently associated with AHF. AHF may result from several precipitants that add an acute haemodynamic stress superimposed on a chronic valvular lesion or may occur as a consequence of a new significant valvular lesion. Regardless of the mechanism, clinical presentation may vary from acute decompensated heart failure to cardiogenic shock. Assessing the severity of VHD as well as the correlation between VHD severity and symptoms may be difficult in patients with AHF because of the rapid variation in loading conditions, concomitant destabilization of the associated comorbidities and the presence of combined valvular lesions. Evidence-based interventions targeting VHD in settings of AHF have yet to be identified, as patients with severe VHD are often excluded from randomized trials in AHF, so results from these trials do not generalize to those with VHD. Furthermore, there are not rigorously conducted randomized controlled trials in the setting of VHD and AHF, most of the data coming from observational studies. Thus, distinct to chronic settings, current guidelines are very elusive when patients with severe VHD present with AHF, and a clear-cut strategy could not be yet defined. Given the paucity of evidence in this subset of AHF patients, the aim of this scientific statement is to describe the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and overall treatment approach for patients with VHD who present with AHF.

Abstract
Since the time of their invention, implantable continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have improved the quality of life and extended survival for patients with advanced heart failure. The decision surgeons and their physician colleagues make with these patients to undergo implantation must come with full understanding of the immediate, short-term, and long-term implications of such a life-changing procedure. The presence of pathology regarding the aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves introduces particularly complex problems for the surgical treatment strategy. Concomitant valve repair or replacement increases cardiopulmonary bypass and cross clamp times, and could potentially lead to worse outcomes in the perioperative setting. Following perioperative recovery, valvular pathology may worsen or arise de novo given the often drastic immediate physiologic changes in blood flow, septal function, and, over time, ventricular remodeling. Over the past two decades, there has been vast improvement in the device manufacturing, surgical techniques, and medical management surrounding LVAD implantation. Yet, addressing concomitant valvular pathology remains a complex question with no perfect solutions. This review aims to briefly describe the evolution of approach to valvular pathology in the LVAD patient and offer our opinion and treatment rationale.

Abstract
Acute heart failure is a major cause of urgent hospitalizations. These are followed by marked increases in death and rehospitalization rates, which then decline exponentially though they remain higher than in patients without a recent hospitalization. Therefore, optimal management of patients with acute heart failure before discharge and in the early post-discharge phase is critical. First, it may prevent rehospitalizations through the early detection and effective treatment of residual or recurrent congestion, the main manifestation of decompensation. Second, initiation at pre-discharge and titration to target doses in the early post-discharge period, of guideline-directed medical therapy may improve both short- and long-term outcomes. Third, in chronic heart failure, medical treatment is often left unchanged, so the acute heart failure hospitalization presents an opportunity for implementation of therapy. The aim of this scientific statement by the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology is to summarize recent findings that have implications for clinical management both in the pre-discharge and the early post-discharge phase after a hospitalization for acute heart failure.

Abstract
The broad uptake of the acute surgical unit (ASU) model of surgical care in Australia has resulted in general surgeons becoming increasingly involved in the management of patients with acute abdominal pain (AAP), some of whom will be labelled as having non-specific abdominal pain (NSAP) (Kinnear N, Jolly S, Herath M, et al. The acute surgical unit: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis. review. Int. J. Surg. 2021;94:106109; Lehane CW, Jootun RN, Bennett M, Wong S, Truskett P. Does an acute care surgical model improve the management and outcome of acute cholecystitis? ANZ J. Surg. 2010;80:438-42). NSAP patients lack a clear diagnosis of surgical pathology based on standard clinical, laboratory and imaging work-up, although they may require ASU admission for pain control and assessment. This article provides a review of uncommon conditions, presenting as AAP, that could possibly be mis-labelled as NSAP, with a focus on aspects of the presentation that may aid diagnosis and management including specific demographic features, clinical findings, key investigations and initial treatment priorities for ASU clinicians. Ultimately, most of the conditions discussed will not require surgical intervention, however, they require a diagnosis to be made and initial treatment planning before on-referral to the appropriate specialty. For the on-call general surgeon, some knowledge of these conditions and an index of suspicion are invaluable for the prompt diagnosis and efficient management of these patients.

Abstract
Background Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, characterized by transient wall motion abnormalities of the left ventricle. Although biventricular involvements are common with a poor prognosis, isolated right ventricular (RV) involvement of TTC is a rare, and its diagnosis remains challenging. Case presentation We encountered a case of isolated RV-TTC presenting as acute RV failure, with progression to cardiogenic shock requiring intensive treatment. Conflicting echocardiographic findings of RV asynergy with RV enlargement despite normal left ventricular wall motion and mild tricuspid regurgitation led to the correct diagnosis. Finally, the patient showed complete recovery with normalization of cardiac structure and function. Conclusions This case underscores the clinical significance of considering isolated RV-TTC as a new distinct variant form of TTC in terms of presentation, diagnostic findings, differential diagnosis, treatment strategy, and prognosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Acute right ventricular failure (RVF) is a frequent condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. This review aims to provide a current overview of the pathophysiology, presentation, and comprehensive management of acute RVF. RECENT FINDINGS Acute RVF is a common disease with a pathophysiology that is not completely understood. There is renewed interest in the right ventricle (RV). Some advances have been principally made in chronic right ventricular failure (e.g., pulmonary hypertension). Due to a lack of precise definition and diagnostic tools, acute RVF is poorly studied. Few advances have been made in this field. Acute RVF is a complex, frequent, and life-threatening condition with several etiologies. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the key diagnostic tool in search of the etiology. Management includes transfer to an expert center and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) in most severe cases, etiological treatment, and general measures for RVF.

Abstract
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) allows for the construction of technologies capable of implementing functions that represent the human mind, senses, and problem-solving skills, leading to automation, rapid data analysis, and acceleration of tasks. These solutions has been initially implemented in medical fields relying on image analysis; however, technological development and interdisciplinary collaboration allows for the introduction of AI-based enhancements to further medical specialties. During the COVID-19 pandemic, novel technologies established on big data analysis experienced a rapid expansion. Yet, despite the possibilities of advancements with these AI technologies, there are number of shortcomings that need to be resolved to assert the highest and the safest level of performance, especially in the setting of the intensive care unit (ICU). Within the ICU, numerous factors and data affect clinical decision making and work management that could be managed by AI-based technologies. Early detection of a patient's deterioration, identification of unknown prognostic parameters, or even improvement of work organization are a few of many areas where patients and medical personnel can benefit from solutions developed with AI.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) size and function assessed by multimodality imaging are associated with outcomes in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Understanding RV anatomy and physiology is essential in appreciating the strengths and weaknesses of current imaging methods and gives these measurements greater context. The adaptation of the right ventricle to different types and severity of stress, particularly over time, is specific to the cardiovascular disease process. Multimodality imaging parameters, which determine outcomes, reflect the ability to image the initial and longitudinal RV response to stress. This paper will review the standard and novel imaging methods for assessing RV function and the impact of these parameters on outcomes in specific disease states.

Abstract
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an increasingly popular treatment option for patients with severe aortic stenosis. Recent advancements in technology and imaging tools have significantly contributed to the success of TAVI procedures. Echocardiography plays a pivotal role in the evaluation of TAVI patients, both before and after the procedure. This review aims to provide an overview of the most recent technical advancements in echocardiography and their use in the follow-up of TAVI patients. In particular, the focus will be on the examination of the influence of TAVI on left and right ventricular function, which is frequently accompanied by other structural and functional alterations. Echocardiography has proven to be key also in detecting valve deterioration during extended follow-up. This review will provide valuable insights into the technical advancements in echocardiography and their role in the follow-up of TAVI patients.

Abstract
There is paucity of data regarding the outcomes of hospitalized acute pulmonary embolism (PE) patients with heart failure (HF) and Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. We utilized the 2020 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) Database in conducting a retrospective cohort study to investigate the outcomes of hospitalized acute PE patients with HF and COVID-19, looking at its impact on in-hospital mortality, thrombolysis, and thrombectomy utilization as well as hospital length of stay (LOS). A total of 23,413 hospitalized acute PE patients with HF were identified in our study, of which 1.26% (n = 295/23,413) had COVID-19 infection. Utilizing a stepwise survey multivariable logistic regression model that adjusted for confounders, COVID-19 infection among acute PE patients with HF was found to be an independent predictor of overall in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 2.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-6.67; p = 0.023) and thrombolysis utilization (aOR: 5.52; 95% CI, 2.57-11.84; p ≤ 0.001) compared to those without COVID-19. However, there were comparable rates of thrombectomy utilization and LOS among acute PE patients with HF regardless of the COVID-19 infection status. On subgroup analysis, patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction was found to be associated with increased risk for in-hospital mortality (aOR: 3.89; 95% CI, 1.33-11.39; p = 0.013) and thrombectomy utilization (aOR: 4.58; 95% CI, 1.08-19.41; p = 0.042), whereas both HF subtypes were associated with increased thrombolysis utilization. COVID-19 infection among acute PE patients with HF was associated with higher over-all in-hospital mortality and increased thrombolysis utilization but had comparable hospital LOS as well as thrombectomy utilization.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a complex syndrome manifesting with distinct phenotypes depending on the severity of the primary cardiac insult and the underlying status. As long as therapeutic interventions fail to divert its unopposed rapid evolution, poor outcomes will continue challenging health care systems. Thus, early recognition in the emergency setting is a priority, in order to avoid delays in appropriate management and to ensure immediate initial stabilization. Since advanced therapeutic strategies and specialized shock centers may provide beneficial support, it seems that directing patients towards the recently described shock network may improve survival rates. A multidisciplinary approach strategy commands the interconnections between the strategic role of the ED in affiliation with cardiac shock centers. This review outlines critical features of early recognition and initial therapeutic management, as well as the utility of diagnostic tools and risk stratification models regarding the facilitation of patient trajectories through the shock network. Further, it proposes the implementation of precise criteria for shock team activation and the establishment of definite exclusion criteria for streaming the right patient to the right place at the right time.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a commonly considered cause of low cardiac output in critically ill patients. Its management can be difficult and requires an understanding of how the RV limits cardiac output. We explain that RV stroke output is caught between the passive elastance of the RV walls during diastolic filling and the active elastance produced by the RV in systole. These two elastances limit RV filling and stroke volume and consequently limit left ventricular stroke volume. We emphasize the use of the term "RV limitation" and argue that limitation of RV filling is the primary pathophysiological process by which the RV causes hemodynamic instability. Importantly, RV limitation can be present even when RV function is normal. We use the term "RV dysfunction" to indicate that RV end-systolic elastance is depressed or diastolic elastance is increased. When RV dysfunction is present, RV limitation occurs at lowerpulmonary valve opening pressures and lower stroke volume, but stroke volume and cardiac output still can be maintained until RV filling is limited. We use the term "RV failure" to indicate the condition in which RV output is insufficient for tissue needs. We discuss the physiological underpinnings of these terms and implications for clinical management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify predictive factors associated with mortality in connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH) patients who were complicated with right heart failure (RHF). METHODS In this single-center retrospective study, baseline demographics, clinical features, laboratory results, and hemodynamic assessments were collected. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to analyze all-cause mortality. Univariate and forward stepwise multivariate Cox proportional regression analyses were performed to identify independent predictors of mortality. RESULTS A total of 51 right heart catheterization-confirmed CTD-PAH patients complicated with RHF were consecutively enrolled in this study from 2012 to 2022. Forty-eight (94%) enrolled patients were female and the mean age was 36.0 ± 11.8 years. Thirty-two (61.5%) were systemic lupus erythematosus-PAH and 33%/67% showed World Health Organization functional class III/IV, respectively. Twenty-five (49%) of those patients died and Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the overall 1-, 3-, and 5-week survival rates from the time of hospitalization as 86.28%, 60.78%, and 56.86%, respectively. RHF in CTD-PAH patients mainly resulted from progression of PAH (n = 19) and infection (n = 5), which also contributed to the leading causes of death. Statistical analysis between survivors and non-survivors showed that death from RHF was associated with higher levels of urea (9.66 vs 6.34 mmol/L, P = 0.002), lactate (cLac: 2.65 vs 1.9 mmol/L, P = 0.006), total bilirubin (23.1 vs 16.9 μmol/L, P = 0.018) and direct bilirubin (10.5 vs 6.5 μmol/L, P = 0.004), but with lower levels of hematocrit (33.7 vs 39, P = 0.004), cNa+ (131 vs 136 mmol/L, P = 0.003). Univariate and forward stepwise multivariate Cox proportional regression analyses indicated that the level of cLac (hazards ratio:1.297; 95% CI: 1.076-1.564; P = 0.006) was an independent risk factor for mortality. CONCLUSION The short-term prognosis of CTD-PAH complicated with RHF was very poor, and hyperlactic acidemia (cLac > 2.85 mmoL/L) was an independent predicting factor for mortality of CTD-PAH patients complicated with RHF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Right Heart Failure (RHF) is a severe complication that can occur after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, increasing early and late mortality. Although numerous RHF predictive scores have been developed, limited data exist on the external validation of these models. We therefore aimed at comparing existent risk score models and identifying predictors of severe RHF at our center. METHODS In this retrospective, single-center analysis, clinical, biological and functional data were collected in patients implanted with a LVAD between 2011 and 2020. Early severe RHF was defined as the use of inotropes for ≥ 14 days, nitric oxide use for ≥ 48 h or unplanned right-sided circulatory support. Risk models were evaluated for the primary outcome of RHF or RVAD implantation by means of logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS Among 92 patients implanted, 24 (26%) developed early severe RHF. The EUROMACS-RHF risk score performed the best in predicting RHF (C = 0.82-95% CI: 0.68-0.90), compared with the other scores (Michigan, CRITT). In addition, we developed a new model, based on four variables selected for the best reduced logistic model: the INTERMACS level, the number of inotropes used, the ratio of right atrial/pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and the ratio of right ventricle/left ventricle diameters by echocardiography. This model demonstrated significant discrimination of RHF (C = 0.9-95% CI: 0.76-0.96). CONCLUSION Amongst available risk scores, EUROMACS-RHF performs best to predict the occurrence of RHF after LVAD implantation. Our model's performance compares well to the EUROMACS-RHF score, adding a more objective parameter to RV function evaluation.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and resultant acute right heart failure (ARHF) is a rapidly growing field of interest, driven by increasing appreciation of its contribution to heart failure morbidity and mortality. Understanding of ARHF pathophysiology has advanced dramatically over recent years and can be broadly described as RV dysfunction related to acute changes in RV afterload, contractility, preload, or left ventricular dysfunction. There are several diagnostic clinical signs and symptoms as well as imaging and hemodynamic assessments that can provide insight into the degree of RV dysfunction. Medical management is tailored to the different causative pathologies, and in cases of severe or end-stage dysfunction, mechanical circulatory support can be utilized. In this review, we describe the pathophysiology of ARHF, how its diagnosis is established by clinical signs and symptoms and imaging findings, and provide an overview of treatment options, both medical and mechanical.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening disorder. Beyond its usefulness in the prognostic stratification of heart failure, sST2 can represent a biomarker with high utility in several acute conditions. Our study was aimed to investigate whether sST2 can be used as a clinical marker of severity and prognostic outcome in acute PE. We enrolled 72 patients with documented PE and 38 healthy subjects; we measured the plasma concentrations of sST2 to evaluate the prognostic and severity performance of different levels of sST2 according to its association with the pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI) score and several parameters of respiratory function. PE patients had significantly higher levels of sST2 compared with healthy subjects (87.74 ± 17.1 vs. 17.1 ± 0.4 ng/mL, p < 0.001); we found higher PESI scores and serum lactate values in the group of patients with sST2 > 35 ng/mL compared with patients with sST2 < 35 ng/mL (138.7 ± 14.9 vs. 103.7 ± 15.1 and 2.43 ± 0.69 vs. 1.025 ± 0.05 mmol/L, respectively; p < 0.05). Patients with sST2 > 35 ng/mL showed higher radiological severity of PE compared with patients with sST2 < 35 ng/mL. Moreover, sST2 was the strongest parameter with a discriminative capacity for the development of acute respiratory failure and a PESI score >106 with respect to C reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, d-dimer, and serum lactate. We clearly demonstrated that sST2 significantly increased in PE and that its elevation was associated with disease severity. Therefore, sST2 may be used as a clinical marker in the evaluation of PE severity. However, further studies with larger patient populations are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Impaired right ventricular (RV) function after cardiac surgery is associated with morbidity and long-term mortality. The purpose of this study was to identify factors that play a role in the development of RV dysfunction in the perioperative cardiac surgery setting. DESIGN We performed a prospective, observational, single centre study. Over a 2-year period, baseline and perioperative characteristics were recorded. For analysis, subjects were divided into three groups: patients with a ≥3% absolute increase in postoperative RV ejection fraction (RVEF) in comparison to baseline (RVEF+), patients with a ≥3% absolute decrease in RVEF (RVEF-) and patients with a <3% absolute change in RVEF (RVEF=). SETTING Tertiary care hospital in the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS We included all cardiac surgery patients ≥18 years of age equipped with a pulmonary artery catheter and admitted to the ICU in 2015-2016. There were no exclusion criteria. A total number of 267 patients were included (65.5% men). OUTCOME MEASURES Risk factors for a perioperative decline in RV function. RESULTS A reduction in RVEF was observed in 40% of patients. In multivariate analysis, patients with RVEF- were compared with patients with RVEF= (first-mentioned OR) and RVEF+ (second-mentioned OR). Preoperative use of calcium channel blocker (CCB) (OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.24 to 7.54/OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.21 to 6.16 (both p=0.015)), intraoperative fluid balance (FB) (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.06 (p=0.039)/OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.49 (p=0.575)) and baseline RVEF (OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.14 to 1.30/OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.35 (both p<0.001)) were identified as independent risk factors for a decline in RVEF during surgery. CONCLUSION Apart from the impact of the perioperative FB, preoperative use of a CCB as a risk factor for perioperative reduction in RVEF is the most prominent new finding of this study.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a haemodynamic manifestation of cardiorespiratory and non-cardiorespiratory pathologies. Cardiorespiratory pathologies account for nearly three-fourths of patients with PH. It is now increasingly being recognised due to routine requests for transthoracic echocardiographic examination in the perioperative setting in patients undergoing intermediate- to high-risk non-cardiac surgery. The increased risks of perioperative morbidity and mortality attributed to PH have been widely acknowledged in the literature. The importance of PH in perioperative decision-making and postoperative outcomes has had little mention in all the guidelines. Understanding the complexity of the pathophysiology of PH may help in anaesthetic and surgical decision-making. Preoperative evaluation and risk assessment are guided by the nature, extent, invasiveness, and duration of surgery. Surgical decision-making and anaesthetic management involve preoperative risk stratification, understanding the interactions between surgical procedures and PH, and understanding the interactions between anaesthetic procedures, PH, and cardiopulmonary interactions. Intraoperative and postoperative monitoring is crucial for maintaining the haemodynamic parameters and helps titrate anaesthetic agents and medication. This narrative review focusses on all issues related to anaesthetic and surgical challenges in patients with PH. This review aimed to suggest a preoperative evaluation plan, surgical decision-making, anaesthetic plan, and anaesthetic management based on the evidence available in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Post intubation cardiac arrest and hemodynamic instability are serious adverse events encountered in critically ill patients. The association of pre-existing right ventricular (RV) dysfunction with post intubation cardiac arrest and hemodynamic instability in critically ill patients is unknown. METHODS This is a retrospective matched cohort study of adult critically ill patients who underwent intubation from July 2016 to December 2019. The study was conducted at a quaternary medical center in Houston, Texas. A total of 340 critically ill patients who underwent intubation in the intensive care units, wards, and the emergency room were included. The study cohort was categorized into 4 groups based on the pre-existing RV function: normal function, mild dysfunction, moderate dysfunction, and severe dysfunction. Cardiac arrest and/or hemodynamic instability within one hour post intubation were the primary study outcomes. Secondary outcomes included in hospital and 60-day mortality. RESULTS Study patients were of mean age of 61.95 ± 14.28 years, including 132 (39%) females and 208 (61%) males. The primary outcomes were significantly worse in mild, moderate, and severe RV dysfunction groups compared to the normal RV function group (34.12%-P = 0.014, 47.06%-P < 0.001, 51.67%-P < 0.001, vs. 17.56%). In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, pre-existing moderate (OR = 2.65, P = 0.013) and severe RV dysfunction groups (OR = 2.66, P = 0.015) were associated with statistically significant higher cardiac arrest and hemodynamic instability post intubation. Pre-existing severe RV dysfunction was associated with statistically significant higher in hospital mortality (62.35%-P < 0.001). The multivariable Cox-regression analysis showed that pre-existing severe RV dysfunction was associated with a statistically significant higher 60-day mortality (HR = 2.57, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Pre-existing moderate and severe RV dysfunctions were independently associated with significantly higher cardiac arrest and/or hemodynamic instability post intubation in critically ill patients. Pre-existing RV function may serve as a mortality predictor in critically ill patients undergoing endotracheal intubation.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a highly lethal condition despite many efforts and new interventions. Patients presenting with a rapid onset of hemodynamic instability and subsequent collapse require prompt and appropriate multimodality treatment. Multiple etiologies can lead to heart failure and subsequent shock. As the case prevalence of heart failure increases worldwide, it is of great importance to explore all manners and protocols of presentation and treatment present. With research primarily focusing on CS due to cardiac left-sided pathology, few assessments of right-sided pathology and the subsequent clinical state and treatment have been conducted. This review aims to present an in-depth assessment of the currently available literature, assessing the pathophysiology, presentation and management of CS patients due to right heart failure.

Abstract
AIMS We aim to investigate the prognostic value of a right ventricular (RV) injury score based on the concept of RV dilation, RV systolic dysfunction, and RV-pulmonary arterial (PA) decoupling in septic patients and to explore whether the RV injury (RVI) score can be used to grade the severity of RV dysfunction in these patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Septic patients admitted to the ICU were prospectively included. We collected haemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters as well as prognostic information. RV dilation was defined as right and left ventricular end-diastolic area ratio (R/LVEDA) > 2/3. RVSD was defined as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) < 17 mm, right ventricular fractional area change (FAC) < 35%, or peak velocity of tricuspid annulus via tissue Doppler (S') < 10 cm/s. RV-PA decoupling was represented by the TAPSE/pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) ratio. RVI score were determined by the presence of the following findings: RVSD, RV dilation, and RV-PA decoupling, that is, one point for each finding. A total of 327 patients were enrolled in this study, among whom 276 survived and 51 died at 30 days after admission. Overall, 18.0% had RV dilation, 35.8% had RVSD, and 21.4% had RV-PA decoupling, with an appreciable overlap present. A multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that RV dilation (HR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.19-4.01, P = 0.011), RVSD (HR: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.23-4.13, P = 0.009) and RV-PA decoupling (HR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.19-3.65, P = 0.011) were independently associated with a 30 day mortality. Furthermore, RVI score was also an independent predictor, displayed additive effect with respect to 30 day mortality (RVI score 1 vs. RVI score 0, HR: 2.94, 95% CI: 1.20-7.20, P = 0.018; RVI score 2 vs. RVI score 0, HR: 3.20, 95% CI: 1.28-7.98, P = 0.013; RVI score 3 vs. RVI score 0, HR: 7.17, 95% CI: 2.65-19.38, P < 0.001), and had the best performance in model goodness of fit, discrimination and variance explained than the other RV indices. CONCLUSIONS The RVI score was independently related to 30 day mortality and had the potential to grade the severity of RV dysfunction in septic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is considered a complication of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, signs of CTEPH may exist in patients with a first symptomatic PE. RESEARCH QUESTION Which radiologic findings on CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) at the time of acute PE could indicate the presence of preexisting CTEPH? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS This study included unselected patients with acute PE who were prospectively followed up for 2 years with a structured visit schedule. Two expert radiologists independently assessed patients' baseline CTPAs for preexisting CTEPH; in case of disagreement, a decision was reached by a 2:1 majority with a third expert radiologist. In addition, the radiologists checked for predefined individual parameters suggesting chronic PE and pulmonary hypertension. RESULTS Signs of chronic PE or CTEPH at baseline were identified in 46 of 303 included patients (15%). Intravascular webs, arterial narrowing or retraction, dilated bronchial arteries, and right ventricular hypertrophy were the main drivers of the assessment. Five (1.7%) patients were diagnosed with CTEPH during follow-up. All four patients diagnosed with CTEPH early (83-108 days following acute PE) were found in enriched subgroups based on the experts' overall assessment or fulfilling a minimum number of the predefined radiologic criteria at baseline. The specificity of preexisting CTEPH diagnosis and the level of radiologists' agreement improved as the number of required criteria increased. INTERPRETATION Searching for predefined radiologic parameters suggesting preexisting CTEPH at the time of acute PE diagnosis may allow for targeted follow-up strategies and risk-adapted CTEPH screening, thus facilitating earlier CTEPH diagnosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute right ventricular failure (aRVF) is associated with high mortality and morbidity. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) may be considered as an advanced treatment option. The ProtekDuo is a cannula that can be used to provide acute right ventricular support as part of a temporary percutaneous (tp) right ventricular assist device (RVAD) system. The primary objective of this systematic review is to describe patient survival and complications when the ProtekDuo cannula was used as part of an tpRVAD system. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus were searched from database inception to August 26, 2022. Reference sections of studies were reviewed to screen for database omissions. RESULTS Seven studies with 127 patients were eligible for inclusion. The studies included patients with aRVF from a variety of causes. Mean duration of support was between 10 and 58 days in five studies. Patient survival to discharge was between 60% and 85.2% in two studies. Four authors reported 30-day survival between 60% and 85.2%. Devicerelated and non-device related complications were low. CONCLUSIONS Patients treated with RVAD using the ProtekDuo cannula have comparable survival rates and complications to other tpRVAD systems. Several advantages exist compared to other RVAD systems.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular death in Europe. Rapid diagnosis and treatment initiation are essential, especially in hemodynamically unstable patients. For normotensive patients, the diagnostic workflow is based on the clinical probability of pulmonary embolism. Due to numerous differential diagnoses and a highly variable clinical presentation, diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism still remains a clinical challenge. Computed tomography angiography is the common gold standard to confirm pulmonary embolism and bedside echocardiography adds a major impact in clinical decision making. The European Society of Cardiology guidelines serve as a framework for a standardized diagnostic approach and risk prediction. Based on vital signs, clinical scores, biomarkers and imaging results, four risk categories can be defined and treatment is accordingly. To optimize the individual management of critical patients, multidisciplinary pulmonary embolism response teams are increasingly designated in specialized centers. This article provides an overview of the current risk-adapted management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism.

Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) due to an acute myocardial infarction (MI) has been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Initial treatment is guided by early recognition and prompt revascularization. Current management of post-MI RVF is built upon expert consensus and is also informed by RVF from other etiologies, including massive pulmonary embolism, left ventricular assist device-associated right ventricular dysfunction, postcardiotomy shock, etc.; this speaks to the limited data available on the specific management of RVF in acute MI. The goal of this review is to discuss the current literature on the pathophysiology, general management considerations, interventional management, hemodynamic monitoring, medical management, and mechanical circulatory support of MI-induced RVF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Compare in-hospital outcomes of patients treated with either mechanical thrombectomy (MT) or catheter directed lysis (CDL) in treatment of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing MT or CDL for acute PE between 2014 and 2021. The primary outcome was the composite of in-hospital death, significant bleed, vascular complication, or need for mechanical support post-procedure. Secondary outcomes included the individual components of the composite outcome in addition to blood transfusions, invasive hemodynamics, echocardiographic data, and intensive care unit (ICU) utilization. RESULTS 458 patients were treated for PE with 266 patients in the CDL arm and 192 patients in the MT arm. The primary composite endpoint was not significantly different between the two groups with CDL 12% versus MT 11% (p = 0.5). There was a significant difference in total length of ICU time required with more in the CDL group versus MT (3.8 ± 2.0 vs. 2.8 ± 3.0 days, p = 0.009). All other secondary end points showed no significant difference between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing catheter directed treatment of PE, there was no difference between MT and CDL in terms of in-hospital mortality, bleeds, catheter-related complications, and hemodynamics.

Abstract
(1) Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) represents the third most important cardiovascular cause of death after myocardial infarction and stroke. The proper management of this condition is dependent on adequate risk stratification, due to the life-threatening complications of more aggressive therapies such as thrombolysis. Copeptin is a surrogate marker of vasopressin which is found increased in several cardiovascular conditions. The Mastora score is an imagistic evaluation of the degree of pulmonary arteries thrombotic burden based on computed tomography angiography. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of copeptin in patients with acute PE. Furthermore, we analyzed the relationship between copeptin and Mastora score and their role in PE risk profiling. (2) Methods: We conducted a single center prospective study that included 112 patients with PE and 53 healthy volunteers. Clinical and paraclinical parameters, together with plasma levels of copeptin and the Mastora score, were evaluated in all patients after admission. (3) Results: Copeptin levels were significantly increased in PE patients compared with the general population (26.05 vs. 9.5 pmol/L, p < 0.001), while receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed an AUC of 0.800 (95% CI 0.728−0.873, p < 0.001). Copeptin directly correlated with the Mastora score (r = 0.535, p = 0.011) and both parameters were strong predictors for adverse clinical events and death. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for death within 30 days revealed a copeptin cut-off of 38.36 pmol/L, which presented a specificity of 79.6% and a sensitivity of 88.9%, and a Mastora score cut-off of 82 points, which presented a specificity of 74.8% and a sensitivity of 77.8%. (4) Conclusions: Our results showed that copeptin and the Mastora score are both correlated with adverse cardiovascular events and mortality in PE patients, and this may pave the way for their use in clinical practice, helping physicians to select the best therapeutical management.

Abstract
Background Estimation of pulmonary pressures is of key importance in acute cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAAT) has emerged as reliable parameter for the estimation of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) in cardiological population with preserved right ventricular function. We sought to find whether PAAT correlates with sPAP in critically ill patients with and without right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction. Methods Observational study. We measured sPAP using continuous-wave Doppler analysis of tricuspid regurgitation velocity peak method and we assessed the validity of PAAT in estimating sPAP in patients admitted to adult intensive care unit (ICU) for acute cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Results We enrolled 236 patients admitted to cardiothoracic ICU for cardiovascular and respiratory failure (respectively: 129, 54.7% and 107, 45.3%). 114 (48.3%) had preserved RV systolic function (defined as TAPSE ≥ 17 mm), whilst 122 (51.7%) had RV systolic impairment (defined as TAPSE < 17 mm). A weak inverse correlation between PAAT and sPAP (ρ–0.189, p 0.0035) was observed in overall population, which was confirmed in those with preserved RV systolic PAAT and sPAP (ρ–0.361, p 0.0001). In patients with impaired RV systolic function no statistically significant correlation between PAAT and sPAP was demonstrated (p 0.2737). Adjusting PAAT values for log10, heart rate and RV ejection time did not modify the abovementioned correlations. Conclusions PAAT measurement to derive sPAP is not reliable in cardiothoracic critically ill patients, particularly in the coexistence of RV systolic impairment.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, implantable continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have proven to be invaluable tools for the management of selected advanced heart failure patients, improving patient longevity and quality of life. The presence of concomitant valvular pathology, including that involving the tricuspid, mitral, and aortic valve, has important implications relating to the decision to move forward with LVAD implantation. Furthermore, the presence of concomitant valvular pathology often influences the surgical strategy for LVAD implantation. Concomitant valve repair or replacement is not uncommonly required in such circumstances, which increases surgical complexity and has demonstrated prognostic implications both short and longer term following LVAD implantation. Beyond the index operation, it is also well established that certain valvular pathologies may develop or worsen over time following LVAD support. The presence of pre-existing valvular pathology or that which develops following LVAD implant is of particular importance to the destination therapy LVAD patient population. As these patients are not expected to have the opportunity for heart transplantation in the future, optimization of LVAD support including ameliorating valvular disease is critical for the maximization of patient longevity and quality of life. As collective experience has grown over time, the ability of clinicians to effectively address concomitant valvular pathology in LVAD patients has improved in the pre-implant, implant, and post-implant phase, through both medical management and procedural optimization. Nevertheless, there remains uncertainty over many facets of concomitant valvular pathology in advanced heart failure patients, and the understanding of how to best approach these conditions in the LVAD patient population continues to evolve. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of the current state of the field relating to the pathophysiology and management of valvular disease in destination LVAD patients.

Abstract
Objective Acute volume overload (AVO) induces early ischemia-like changes in intramyocardial arteries. We investigated whether the Factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor apixaban interacts with the myocardium early after AVO. Methods Fifty-five syngeneic Fisher rats underwent surgical abdominal aortocaval fistula to induce AVO. Among them, 17 rats were treated with apixaban (10 mg/kg/day). The myocardial outcome was studied using histological analysis and by measuring atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and matrix metalloprotease 9 (MMP9) gene expression. Results After 3 days, the total number of intramyocardial arteries was significantly increased in the AVO+apixaban (AVO+A) group compared with that in the AVO group (12.0 ± 1.2 and 10.2 ± 1.5, point score units, respectively). In the AVO+A group, there were significantly more edematous nuclei in myocardial arteries in the right and left ventricle compared with that in the AVO group. ANP and MMP9 expression levels continued to increase significantly in the AVO+A group compared with those in the AVO group. Conclusion Apixaban interacts with intramyocardial arteries in the left and right ventricles after AVO and ANP and MMP9 expression levels increased. Thus, the myocardial effect of Factor Xa inhibition needs to be monitored after AVO.

Abstract
Right heart failure (RHF) is a clinical syndrome in which symptoms and signs are caused by dysfunction and/or overload of the right heart structures, predominantly the right ventricle (RV), resulting in systemic venous hypertension, peripheral oedema and finally, the impaired ability of the right heart to provide tissue perfusion. Pathogenesis of RHF includes the incompetence of the right heart to maintain systemic venous pressure sufficiently low to guarantee an optimal venous return and to preserve renal function. Virtually, all myocardial diseases involving the left heart may be responsible for RHF. This may result from coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies and myocarditis. The most prominent clinical signs of RHF comprise swelling of the neck veins with an elevation of jugular venous pressure and ankle oedema. As the situation worsens, fluid accumulation becomes generalised with extensive oedema of the legs, congestive hepatomegaly and eventually ascites. Diagnosis of RHF requires the presence of signs of elevated right atrial and venous pressures, including dilation of neck veins, with at least one of the following criteria: (1) compromised RV function; (2) pulmonary hypertension; (3) peripheral oedema and congestive hepatomegaly. Early recognition of RHF and identifying the underlying aetiology as well as triggering factors are crucial to treating patients and possibly reversing the clinical manifestations effectively and improving prognosis.

Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is the most important prognostic factor for morbidity and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or pulmonary hypertension (PH) caused by left heart diseases. However, right ventricle (RV) remodeling is understudied and not targeted by specific therapies. This can be partly explained by the lack of basic knowledge of RV remodeling. Since the physiology and hemodynamic function of the RV differ from those of the left ventricle (LV), the mechanisms of LV dysfunction cannot be generalized to that of the RV, albeit a knowledge of these being helpful to understanding RV remodeling and dysfunction. Store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) has recently emerged to participate in the LV cardiomyocyte Ca2+ homeostasis and as a critical player in Ca2+ mishandling in a pathological context. In this paper, we highlight the current knowledge on the SOCE contribution to the LV and RV dysfunctions, as SOCE molecules are present in both compartments. he relative lack of studies on RV dysfunction indicates the necessity of further investigations, a significant challenge over the coming years.
