| Abstract |
The function of the right ventricle (RV) is intimately linked to its preload (systemic volume status) and afterload (pulmonary vasculature). In this review, we explore current knowledge in RV physiology, RV function assessment, causes of right heart failure (RHF), and specific treatment strategies for RHF. We examine the evidence behind new pharmacological therapies available, such as macitentan and riociguat in the treatment of specific etiologies of RHF. We will also focus on RHF in the setting of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and in the presence of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), looking at current treatment recommendations, including mechanical circulatory support. Lastly, we will look to the horizon for the latest research on RHF, including the molecular basis of RHF and potential novel treatment methods for this old yet poorly understood syndrome. Disturbances in this complex relationship result in the clinical syndrome of RHF. Despite advances in the management of left heart diseases, much work remains to be done to understand and manage RHF. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 April 2018.
All research outputs
#3,576,647
of 25,646,963 outputs
Outputs from Current Heart Failure Reports
#59
of 371 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#69,109
of 344,445 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Heart Failure Reports
#1
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,646,963 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 371 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 344,445 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than all of them
