The pathophysiological processes underlying<unk>  heart failure can be divided broadly into three: decreased<unk>  ventricular contractility,<unk>  ventricular pressure overload,<unk>  ventricular volume overload .<unk>  ventricular hypertrophy or RVH is the predominant change in chronic cor pulmonale although in acute cases dilation dominates. Both hypertrophy and dilatation are the result of increased<unk>  ventricular pressure.
