Right ventricular failure due to chronic pressure load: What have we learned in animal models since the NIH working group statement?

Abstract: Right ventricular (RV) failure determines outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart diseases and in left ventricular failure. In 2006, the Working Group on Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Right Heart Failure of the NIH advocated the development of preclinical models to study the pathophysiology and pathobiology of RV failure. In this review, we summarize the progress of research into the pathobiology of RV failure and potential therapeutic interventions. The picture emerging from t… Show more

“…In many experimental studies in the literature, data interpretation is hampered by the lack of RV pressure-volume analysis (Borgdorff et al 2015a), which remains the gold standard to assess the RV response to pressure overload (Vogel, 2008;Chesler et al 2009;Spruijt et al 2014;Voelkel et al 2015). Indeed, the use of pressure-volume analysis as means of load-independent contractility measurement has for a long time been restricted to the LV, because RV anatomy complicates accurate conductance signal acquisition.…”

“…Moreover, PAH is also associated with long-term functional, structural and geometrical changes in the RV 5 . These changes and their impacts on ventricular mechanics are currently not well-understood 6 . Although animal models have been used to understand ventricular mechanics associated with RV remodeling in PAH 7,8 , similar studies in humans are lacking and most clinical investigations have been confined to quantifying global ventricular mechanics through pressure-volume (PV) loop measurements 9,10 .…”

“…Additionally, the vasodilatory response during Stress was more prominent in the RCA (44%) than in the LCA (39%). These microcirculatory events suggest that the calibrated CMCM LPN could describe the capillary density inadequacy in patients with RV hypertrophy [ 33 ].…”
