Abstract

Heart failure caused by a violation of the right ventricular function is associated with late diagnosis and high mortality. Many diseases of the heart and other organs lead to the development of right ventricular heart failure. Analysis of the causes of development, physical data, instrumental methods of diagnostics (electrocardiography, echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, catheterization of the right ventricle), laboratory methods (levels of atrial natriuretic peptide) can detect failure of the right heart in the early stages of heart failure development.
