    AbstractPulmonary hypertension (PH) encompasses a broad range of conditions, including pulmonary artery hypertension, left-sided heart disease, and pulmonary and thromboembolic disorders. Successful diagnosis and management rely on an integrated clinical assessment of the patient's physiology and right heart function. Right ventricular (RV) heart failure is often a result of PH, but may result from varying abnormalities in preload, afterload, and intrinsic myocardial dysfunction, which require distinct management strategies. Consideration of an individual's hemodynamic phenotype and physiologic circumstances is paramount in management of PH and RV failure, particularly when there is clinical instability in the intensive care setting.Copyright © 2023 The Authors.
