In 1616, Sir William Harvey was the first person to describe the importance of right ventricular function.1 However, the right ventricle (RV) has received little attention in the past, with cardiology dealing mostly with the diseases of the left ventricle (LV) and their potential treatment. Since the early 1950s, however, the prognostic significance of RV function has been recognised in several…

Despite improvements in treatment, heart failure (HF) continues to have a progressive clinical course characterised by worsening of cardiac function and clinical condition, leading to a stage of advanced chronic HF. At this stage, the clinical picture is characterised by severe symptoms, frequent episodes of decompensation, poor quality of life and poor survival. Evidence-based medical treatments…

Central sleep apnoea (CSA) is characterised by cycles of apnoea, hypopnoea and hyperpnoea during sleep due to abnormalities in the regulation of breathing within the respiratory centre in the brainstem. CSA, defined as an apnoea–hypopnoea index (AHI) of ≥15 events/h, is common in patients with heart failure (HF), with a prevalence of 20–45 %.1, 2 Its presence is reported to be a marker of…

The increasing prevalence of heart failure requires the establishment of new imaging techniques that are able to diagnose early and guide treatment. With an estimated 825,000 new cases annually in the US, the heart failure burden will continue to rise and is expected to exceed 8 million by 2030.1

Despite the burden of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF),1 its pathophysiological mechanisms remain controversial and are likely to be multifactorial.2,3,4 The lack of a comprehensive paradigm applicable to all patients suggests that haemodynamic derangements responsible for this disorder may be quite heterogeneous. As recently highlighted, haemodynamic features of HFpEF…
