Implication

May aid RV assessment in PAH; leaves open prospective validation of novel diagnostics and therapies.

Key Points

To review the pathophysiology, early diagnostic approaches, and emerging targeted treatments for right ventricular dysfunction caused by chronic pressure overload in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Literature review summarizing recent preclinical and clinical investigations on right ventricular mechanics, diagnostic strategies, and therapeutic interventions for cardiac remodeling.
Identifies right ventricular failure driven by continuous pressure overload as the leading cause of mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Highlights novel diagnostic modalities capable of detecting early right ventricular dysfunction before overt clinical failure occurs.
Identifies targeted molecular and physiological therapies designed to halt or reverse maladaptive right ventricular remodeling to improve patient survival.
