Right Ventricular Dysfunction

Right Ventricular Dysfunction (RVD) occurs when the right ventricle, a chamber of the heart, does not pump blood effectively. This can lead to fluid buildup in the body, causing swelling, shortness of breath, and fatigue. RVD can result from various conditions, including heart disease, lung problems, or high blood pressure in the lungs. Proper oxygenated blood flow is essential for the body, and when the right side of the heart struggles, it can affect overall health and energy levels. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to manage the condition and improve quality of life.
