Abstract

Various pathologic conditions may lead to acute failure of the right ventricle. The most common cause is pulmonary artery thromboembolism. Another relatively frequent etiology of right heart failure is occlusion of the right coronary artery with dysfunction of the right ventricle. Severe types of right-sided heart failure can develop after isolated infarction of the right ventricle.
