Mechanism and Treatment of Right Ventricular Failure Due to Pulmonary Hypertension in Children

Bibhuti B. DasUniversity of Mississippi Medical Center.United States ChildrenChildren 2025; 12: DOI: 10.3390/children12040476 AbstractPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive disorder characterized by obstructive changes in the pulmonary vasculature, leading to increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), right ventricular (RV) strain, and eventual RV failure (RVF). Despite advancements in medical therapy, PH remains associated with significant morbidity and
