Overview

Right heart failure, if left undiagnosed and untreated, may lead to impaired quality of life and eventually death. There are several factors that define this natural history depending mainly on the underlying etiology or mechanism of injury, the onset of illness, how early was treatment initiated and other comorbidities.

Natural History

The prognosis of right heart failure depends in large part on the underlying cause of the condition. Giving oxygen often improves symptoms, stamina, and survival. Treating primary pulmonary hypertension often leads to greater stamina and a longer life. In some cases, a lung transplant or heart-lung transplant can extend survival.

Prognosis
