2. Heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

   Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood.. Although symptoms vary based on which side of the heart is affected, HF typically presents with shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, and bilateral leg swelling. [3]

3. Kussmaul's sign - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kussmaul's_sign

   The differential diagnoses of Kussmaul's sign includes constrictive pericarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, pericardial effusion, and severe right-sided heart failure. [ citation needed ] With cardiac tamponade , jugular veins are distended and typically show a prominent x descent and an absent y descent as opposed to patients with ...

5. Bernheim syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernheim_syndrome

   Bernheim syndrome is believed to be the rightward shift of the ventricular septum compressing the right ventricle without causing pulmonary congestion. [3] This was first described by Hippolyte Bernheim in which he presented 10 patients with signs and symptoms of right sided heart failure whose postmortem autospy reveals a ventricular septum that invaded the right ventricle space. [1]

6. Tricuspid regurgitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_regurgitation

   The symptoms of TR depend on its severity. Severe TR causes right-sided heart failure, with the development of ascites and peripheral edema. [1] In severe cases of right heart failure due to TR, venous congestion of the kidneys and liver may lead to cardiorenal syndrome (kidney failure secondary to heart failure) and cardiohepatic syndromes (liver failure secondary to heart failure ...

7. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ventricular_hypertrophy

   This right ventricular failure is the main complication of right ventricular hypertrophy. The mechanisms underlying the progression from hypertrophy to failure is not well understood, [11] and the best management approach involves reducing/minimising the risk factors of progression. Lifestyle changes can often help to reduce the risk of this ...

8. Wikipedia:Osmosis/Heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Wikipedia:Osmosis/Heart_failure

   This, just like before, makes it harder for the right side of the heart to pump against and can lead to right-sided hypertrophy and heart failure. When chronic lung disease leads to right-sided hypertrophy and failure, it’s known as cor pulmonale. With left-sided failure, blood gets backed up into the lungs.

9. Bilharzial cor pulmonale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilharzial_cor_pulmonale

   Bilharzial cor pulmonale is the condition of right sided heart failure secondary to fibrosis and sclerosis of the pulmonary artery branches.It results from shifting of the Schistosoma haematobium ova from the pelvic and vesical plexus to the pulmonary artery branches where they settle and produce granuloma and fibrosis.
