Can Biomarkers Provide Right Ventricular-Specific Prognostication in the Perioperative Setting?

Since the introduction of biomarkers in the late 1980s, considerable research has been dedicated to their validation and application. As a result, many biomarkers are now commonly used in clinical practice. However, the role of biomarkers in the prediction of right ventricular failure (RVF) and in the prognostication for patients with RVF remains underexplored. Barriers include a lack of awareness of the importance of right ventricular function,...
