Abstract

Right heart failure is a complex and diverse syndrome with unique causes and pathophysiology. The right heart is being recognized as a structurally discrete and functionally independent predictor of mortality. Renewed interest in the right heart has led to efforts to consolidate definitions of right heart failure in an effort to standardize nomenclature and unify epidemiologic studies. Improvements in imaging in particular have contributed to epidemiologic studies, as well as understanding of right heart physiology, which has subsequently led to improved diagnostics and management. This article describes the various causes of right heart disease and its epidemiology.

摘要

右心衰竭是一种复杂且多样化的综合征，具有独特的病因和病理生理学。右心正被认为是死亡率的结构性离散和功能独立预测因子。人们对右心的兴趣重新燃起，促使人们努力整合右心衰竭的定义，以努力实现命名法标准化和统一流行病学研究。特别是影像学的改进促进了流行病学研究以及对右心生理学的理解，从而导致了改进的诊断和治疗。本文描述了右心疾病的各种病因及其流行病学。
