“…Percutaneous options (such as the Impella RP and the TandemHeart RVAD with the PROTEK Duo cannula) have been introduced for temporary RV support [95]. For long-term RV support, a biventricular assist device or total artificial heart are the only available strategies [96], whereas the off-label use of LVAD for the right-sided circulation is limited by the different anatomy, and physiology of RV and pulmonary circulation [97].…”

There is growing attention for the study of the right ventricle in cardiovascular disease and in particular in heart failure. In this clinical setting, right ventricle dysfunction is a significant marker of poor prognosis, regardless of the degree of left ventricular dysfunction. Novel echocardiographic methods allow for obtaining a more complete evaluation of the right ventricle anatomy and function as well as of the related abnormalities in filling pressures. Specific and effective therapies for the right ventricle dysfunction are still not well defined and this represents the most difficult and important challenge. This article focuses on available diagnostic techniques for studying right ventricle dysfunction as well as on the therapies for right ventricle dysfunction.
