Right ventricular heart failure is a frequent and serious but often undetected and complex clinical challenge on the intensive care unit. The commonest causes include acute decompensation of pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary embolism, sepsis, acute respiratory distress, and cardiothoracic surgery. The gold standard of bedside diagnosis is a combination of clinical symptoms, biochemical markers (NT-proBNP) and echocardiography. For the purposes of hemodynamic monitoring and treatment management, the indication to place a pulmonary artery catheter should be made generously. The major components of management include treating the underlying disease and triggering factors, reducing pulmonary vascular resistance, increasing contractility, volume optimization, and maintenance of adequate perfusion. Mechanical circulatory support should be considered before irreversible end-organ failure develops.
