3 Acute right heart failure Physiology of the right ventricle (RV) and the pulmonary circulation Aetiology and pathophysiology of acute right heart failure Diagnostic assessment or RV function and dysfunction Treatment of right heart failure: general measures Specific management of right heart failure: acute PE

4 The right ventricle pulmonary circulation unit and I ask, as the lungs are so close at hand, and in continual motion, and the vessel that supplies them is of such dimensions, what is the use or meaning of this pulse of the right ventricle? And why was nature reduced to the necessity of adding another ventricle for the sole purpose of nourishing the lungs? -William Harvey, Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus, 1628

5 Haddad, F. et al. Circulation 2008;117: Anatomy of the right ventricle Three components: Inlet trabeculated apex infundubulum/conus Three muscular bands: parietal septomarginal - moderator Shape EDV, mm RV Crescentictriangular (49-101) LV Elliptic (44-89) Mass, g/m (17-34) (64-109) Wall thickness, mm

6 Haddad, F. et al. Circulation 2008;117: Architecture and contraction of the right ventricle Muscle layers: Superficial (circumferential) deep (longitudinal) Contraction pattern: Inward movement of free wall Longitudinal Traction of free wall secondary to LV contraction (contribution to SV and pressure: 20-40%!) Shortening: mainly longitudinal Compared to LV: NO torsion, rotation, thickening Smaller inward motion than LV necessary to eject the same stroke volume

15 Incidence and importance of right heart failure In the ICU, right heart dysfunction/failure can occur: In up to 65% of patients with acute pulmonary embolism In up to 25% of patients with acute lung injury / ARDS on mechanical ventilation (high P plat, high PEEP, hypoxaemia, hypercarbia, acidosis) In up to 50% of patients with sepsis (affecting preload, afterload, contractility). It is independently asociated with increased mortality.

Thromb Res 2011;128:149-54

31 Summary and Conclusions (1) The RV is particularly vulnerable to changes in afterload. Acute right heart failure occurs in patients with left ventricular / mitral valve disease; acute pulmonary embolism; sepsis, especially with ARDS on mechanical ventilation; pulmonary arterial hypertension, CTEPH, congenital heart disease. It is associated with a poor outcome. Besides clinical and haemodynamic parameters, echocardiography, CT, and biomarkers (alone and in combination) help in its detection and follow-up.

32 Summary and Conclusions (2) General therapeutic measures include: volume status optimisation (NO aggressive volume challenge!); inotropic / vasopressor support (as in LV failure); lung-protective mechanical ventilation, correction of hypoxaemia, hypercarbia and acidosis; pulmonary arterial hypertension, CTEPH, congenital heart disease. Specific measures are particularly effective in acute pulmonary embolism (thrombolysis/surgery/intervention).

33 Thank you

34 Treatment of right heart failure in acute PE Recommendation Class Level Thrombolytic therapy should be used in patients with high-risk PE presenting with cardiogenic shock and/or persistent arterial hypotension Surgical pulmonary embolectomy is a therapeutic alternative if thrombolysis is absolutely contraindicated or has failed Catheter embolectomy or fragmentation of proximal pulmonary arterial clots may be an alternative to surgical treatment when thrombolysis is absolutely contraindicated or has failed I (1) I (2) IIb (2) A (B) C (C) C (C)
