[Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure. Part II. Patients with left ventricular involvement]
Abstract:
In a series of articles the authors discuss literature data concerning epidemiology of pulmonary hypertension, modern classification; peculiarities of its pathogenesis and treatment in various diseases and conditions. In the second part they consider peculiarities of pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure in patients with predominant involvement of left cardiac chambers.
