The North American Thrombosis Forum's (NATF’s) “5th Right Heart Symposium”
The syndrome of right heart failure is poorly understood and defined. Clinicians often fail to diagnose early stages of the disease and allow the manifestations to progress to severe disability. There is a pressing need to define, understand, and inculcate awareness about this disease in clinicians. Similarly, understanding right heart dysfunction requires focused investigations and research study, best brought forth by a multidisciplinary collaboration. This program is intended for clinical and research professionals who are involved in the care of patients with and the study of right heart disease, congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and associated disorders.
Target Audience:

Panel Discussion
Learning Objectives
By the end of the session the participant will be able to:
- Describe the unique structure and function of the right ventricle (RV), with focus on anatomical and embryological differences between the RV and left ventricle (LV)
- Discuss the importance of RV and pulmonary arterial coupling and its role in RV function and RV failure
- Summarize the emerging role of advanced imaging in assessing RV function
- Evaluate the current data regarding myocardial metabolism and RV function
- Given a patient case, formulate a management approach that takes into account RV structure, function, and maladaptation
