Reversible right heart failure after medullary stroke

Right heart failure developed much faster in this case than in other central hypoventilation syndromes, possibly because of cardio-autonomic dysregulation caused by the patient's large medullary stroke. 5 This case of reversible right heart failure illustrates a close interrelation between the...
