-Blood backups up into the system venous system, including the [[hepatic vein]]. Chronic congestion in the [[Hepatic lobule| centrilobular]] region of the [[liver]] leads to [[hypoxia]] and fatty changes of more peripheral [[hepatocytes]], leading to what's known as [[nutmeg liver]].  Left untreated, [[cor pulmonale]] can lead to [[right heart failure]] and death.

+==[[Right heart failure epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
-Elimination of the cause is the most important intervention. In [[pulmonary embolism]], [[thrombolysis]] (enzymatic dissolution of the blood clot) is advocated if there is dysfunction of the [[right ventricle]]. In [[COPD]], long-term [[oxygen therapy]] may improve [[cor pulmonale]].
-[[Cor pulmonale]] may lead to [[congestive heart failure]] ([[CHF]]), with worsening of respiration due to [[pulmonary edema]], swelling of the legs due to [[peripheral edema]] and painful congestive [[hepatomegaly]]. This situation requires [[diuretic]]s (to decrease strain on the heart), sometimes [[nitrate]]s (to improve blood flow), phosphodiesterase inhibitors like [[Sildenafil]], [[tadalafil]] and occasionally [[inotrope]]s (to improve heart contractility). [[CHF]] is a negative [[prognosis|prognostic indicator]] in [[cor pulmonale]].
