Right ventricular dysfunction is a condition where the right side of the heart is unable to pump blood effectively to the lungs. This can be caused by various factors such as pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, or heart disease. Researchers in this area aim to better understand the mechanisms underlying right ventricular dysfunction, develop new diagnostic tools, and investigate potential treatments to improve outcomes for patients with this condition. Treatment options may include medication, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, surgery.
