Figure 5.
Example of acute right ventricular (RV) failure because of medication noncompliance. Patient medication noncompliance (blue shading) resulted in rise in deteriorating hemodynamics and heart failure hospitalization (orange shading). IV diuresis and reinstitution of medications (red shading) resulted in an improvement in all parameters. HFH = heart failure hospitalization; PAP = pulmonary artery pressure; SW = RV stroke work. See Figure 1 legend for expansion of other abbreviations.
