Understanding and recognition of the right ventricular function and dysfunction via a numerical study
Abstract The role played by the right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has long been underestimated in clinical practice. Recent findings are progressively confirming that when the RV efficiency deteriorates both the right and the left circulation is (significantly) affected, but studies dedicated to a...

Abstract The role played by the right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has long been underestimated in clinical practice.

In response to such a gap in knowledge, this work proposes a numerical model that for the first time evaluates the effect of isolated RV dysfunction on the whole circulation. Lumped parameter modelling was applied to represent the physio-pathological hemodynamics.
