Gaps and Knowledge in the Contemporary Management of Acute Right Ventricular Failure

Acute right ventricular failure (ARVF) is commonly seen in the intensive care unit and constitutes a significant clinical challenge, with associated high in-hospital mortality. Recently, the treatment of ARVF has significantly changed, with the progressive implementation of mechanical circulatory support devices that now represent important tools for clinicians in treating this condition. However, despite recent advancements, the optimal approach for ARVF remains elusive, and precise treatment algorithms and comprehensive management protocols are still lacking.
