What does RVF mean in HOSPITALS

RVF is usually caused by conditions such as pulmonary hypertension, coronary artery disease, or congenital heart defects. It may also be caused by other diseases such as cancer or diabetes.

Symptoms of RVF include shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling in the legs or abdomen. Other symptoms may include chest pain, lightheadedness, arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), or coughing up blood.

Treatment for RVF depends on its underlying cause. If a specific condition is causing the condition, treating that condition may help improve RVF symptoms. Medications such as diuretics or beta blockers may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup in the body and reduce strain on the heart muscle. Surgery may also be needed in some cases to repair any damage to the heart valves or other structures of the heart.

The best way to prevent RVF is by controlling existing medical conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can also help reduce your risk of developing this condition. Quitting smoking can also help decrease your risk of developing pulmonary hypertension and other conditions associated with RVF.

If you experience any signs or symptoms associated with right ventricular failure, it's important to seek medical attention right away so that an accurate diagnosis can be made and proper treatment can begin as soon as possible.
