Overview
There are acute and chornic causes of right heart failure.
Acute Causes of Right Heart Failure
- Acute MI involving the right ventricle
- Massive pulmonary embolization
- Exacerbation of chronic cor pulmonale
Chronic Causes of Right Heart Failure
- COPD
- Congenital heart disease
- Emphysema
- Loss of lung tissue following trauma or surgery
