Zusammenfassung

Ein akutes oder chronisches Rechtsherzversagen wird als Ursache einer kardiopulmonalen Insuffizienz häufig nicht oder zu spät diagnostiziert. Neben klinischen Symptomen und laborchemischen Parametern sind v. a. Echokardiographie und invasive Messungen der Hämodynamik im Rechtsherzkatheter für Diagnose und Therapiekontrolle entscheidend. In der Akutsituation ist zunächst eine symptomatische Therapie des vital bedrohlichen Zustands notwendig. Hauptziele sind die Optimierung der Koronarperfusion und damit der myokardialen Sauerstoffversorgung sowie die Nachlastsenkung des rechten Ventrikels. Bei anhaltendem Rechtsherzversagen kommen zunehmend passagere, extrakorporale oder implantierbare intrakorporale Organersatzverfahren zum Einsatz. Prognostisch entscheidend ist die zielgerichtete Therapie der auslösenden Grunderkrankung.

Abstract

Acute or chronic right ventricular failure is an often misdiagnosed cause of cardiopulmonary insufficiency. In addition to clinical symptoms or laboratory testing, echocardiography and invasive hemodynamic measurement by means of right-heart catheterization are essential for diagnosis and treatment control. In case of acute right ventricular failure, adequate symptomatic treatment of the life-threatening situation is important. Main issues are maintenance of coronary artery perfusion pressure and myocardial oxygen delivery as well as reduction of right ventricular afterload. In persistent right ventricular failure extracorporeal or intracorporeal assist devices are increasingly used as bridging or destination therapy. On a long-term basis, the targeted therapy of the underlying disease is crucial.

Sie dürfen sich nicht körperlich belasten.

Sie erhalten unabhängig von der Grunderkrankung die gleiche Medikation.

Sie benötigen erst ab einem PaO2 < 50 mmHg eine Sauerstofftherapie.
