right heart
Lung-bound blood mover
The right heart is the right side of the heart, comprising the right atrium and right ventricle.
It receives oxygen-depleted blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation.
Right heart failure occurs when the right ventricle can't pump blood effectively to the pulmonary arteries.
