Right Ventricular Dysfunction

A condition in which the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE or MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the right ventricular wall.
Also Known As:
Ventricular Dysfunction, Right; Dysfunction, Right Ventricular; Dysfunctions, Right Ventricular; Right Ventricular Dysfunctions; Ventricular Dysfunctions, Right

02/01/1991 - "To better assess long-term results, we report the findings for randomly obtained electrocardiograms, Holter monitor recordings, radionuclide angiographic studies, and cardiac catheterizations performed in 1987 in a larger group of 159 long-term survivors of atrial repair operated on at Ospedale Riuniti di Bergamo from January 1971 to December 1984 (group 2), which includes all of group 1. The findings confirm that the arterial switch repair is the procedure of choice for complex TGA and that there is a major incidence (approximately 10%) of systemic right ventricular dysfunction and rhythm disturbances after the atrial repair. "
04/01/1990 - "Based on the radionuclide study, RBBB morphology was associated with a greater left anterior oblique angle required for the best visual separation of the ventricles during acquisition of the study (angle of interventricular septal plane to sagittal plane: 69 +/- 11 versus 59 +/- 9 degrees; p = 0.019), and with the presence of right ventricular dysfunction (13 of 21 versus 6 of 25 patients; p = 0.009).
