Acute Right Heart Failure

This book reviews all the current issues and information available in medical literature regarding acute right heart failure, a complex clinical syndrome not particularly well highlighted in current research due to the disproportionate attention that has been given to left heart failure. It compiles all the precursors leading to this condition, beginning with normal right heart physiology and moving to different right heart pathologies. It offers comprehensive guidance on the early assessment and management of acute right heart failure, and embraces all current research and clinical and experimental trials on this acute syndrome.
