Understanding right ventricular (RV) function is crucial for overall heart performance. This review covers RV determinants, clinical impacts, and perioperative evaluation and treatment strategies for RV dysfunction.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Physiology

Background:

The right ventricle (RV) plays a critical role in maintaining global cardiac output.
RV function is influenced by afterload and contractility, which can be compromised in various clinical scenarios.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the physiological determinants of normal right ventricular function.
To review clinical conditions affecting RV performance and perioperative evaluation methods.
To explore current and emerging treatment strategies for RV dysfunction.

Main Methods:

Review of physiological determinants of RV function.
Discussion of clinical conditions impacting RV performance (e.g., pulmonary hypertension, ischemia).
Overview of perioperative evaluation techniques (e.g., echocardiography, MRI) and treatment modalities (pharmacological, mechanical).

Main Results:

RV function is essential for global cardiac performance.
Several clinical conditions significantly impair RV function.
Various diagnostic and therapeutic options exist for managing RV dysfunction.

Conclusions:

Accurate perioperative evaluation of RV performance is vital.
Newer pharmacological agents offer improved treatment options for RV failure and pulmonary hypertension.
Optimizing RV function management ensures better patient outcomes.
