Features of the morphological and functional state of the left and right ventricles of the heart in patients with cardi-ac pathology and the main approaches to their study

Abstract
The left ventricle is naturally the most vulnerable structure in patients with cardiac pathology — arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease and their frequent combination in clinical practice. The features of its structural and functional disorders are currently well studied and form the basis of pathogenetic therapy. Against this background, the right ventricle has clearly not been studied sufficiently due to the previously existing methodological difficulties in assessing its condition. At the same time, it has been established that dysfunction and remodeling of the right ventricle in patients with cardiac pathology can cause the development of cardiovascular complications, up to fatal. Recently, with the introduction of new ultrasound technologies, the possibilities for assessing the condition of both ventricles in patients with cardiovascular diseases have been expanding, which may in the near future contribute to clarifying their prognosis and improving the effectiveness of therapy.
