So let's wrap up this video.
Cor pulmonale is right-sided heart failure
caused by elevated pulmonary pressures.
So we're in right-sided failure and
it's the lungs' fault - cor pulmonale.
Now the right ventricle hypertrophy is
it gets bigger in order to help it first
but after that adaptation goes wrong, you end up with
the right ventricle that cannot pump efficiently.
So patients can also develop right-sided heart
failure following left-sided heart failure.
You'll see patients oftentimes with both.
Now if we're talking about the specific
right-failure, we're talking about cor-pulmonale.
Thank you for watching our video today.
