• Contents: Introduction -- Embryological origins: How does the RV form? -- The fetal RV: systemic powerhouse or prone to fail? -- Metabolism and bioenergetics in the hypertrophied RV: what is different from the LV? -- Why does the RV myocardium fail? -- Does the RV really contract differently from the LV? -- How does the pressure loaded RV adapt and why does it fail? Macro and molecular perspectives -- Novel mechanisms of lung injury and repair in PAH: does success in the lab translate to hope for our patients? -- Right-left ventricular interactions in PAH -- From M-mode to 3D echo:-what should we use to assess RV function? -- What does MRI offer beyond volumes? -- Why is the RV different in TOF and in ASD? -- RV dyssynchrony and cardiac resynchronization therapy: New insights into mechanisms and pathophysiology -- The single right ventricle in the Fontan circulation: How does it work and why does it fail? -- Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement: When should we pull the trigger? What do we hope to achieve? -- What should the echocardiographer tell me to plan tricuspid valve repair? -- Investigating the RV: What is the path going forward? -- Ventricular-vascular coupling in PAH: An engineer's perspective is relevant to the clinician -- The RV in cardiac transplantation-How do we know if it's going to cope and what do we do when it doesn?t? -- Does the RV really contract differently from the LV? -- How can computer models contribute to the clinician's assessment of ventricular-ventricular interactions, ventricular-vascular interactions and RV failure? -- Can the RV support the failing LV -- Ebstein anomaly: Does echocardiographic assessment determine surgical repair? -- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy: Why does it happen and how do we make the diagnosis? -- Can surgeons preserve RV function in hypoplastic left heart syndrome? -- The RV in ccTGA: Why does it fail? Can we prevent it? -- Drugs? -- Assist devices -- News on the horizon.
