Trait
Right ventricular failure
Reduced ability of the right ventricle to perform its function (to receive blood from the right atrium and to eject blood into the pulmonary artery), often leading to pitting peripheral edema, ascites, and hepatomegaly.
Summary
- Also called
- Impaired right ventricular function, Right ventricular impairment, Right-sided heart failure
- Body system
- Abnormality of the cardiovascular system

Changes in these genes cause rare conditions in which Right ventricular failure is seen. Most people with this trait have none of those conditions, and a gene on this list says nothing about anyone's own genome.
| Gene | How often it is seen | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| BMPR2bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 | Very often (80–99%) | In 1 condition |
| EIF2AK4eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 4 | Often (30–79%) | In 1 condition |
| CAPNS1calpain small subunit 1 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| MYH7myosin heavy chain 7 | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |
| SDHDsuccinate dehydrogenase complex subunit D | Sometimes (5–29%) | In 1 condition |

How often is among people with one of the gene's conditions, the most often across them, as the Human Phenotype Ontology records it. These pages describe traits and the research behind them; they are not a diagnosis, and a doctor or genetic counsellor is the person to ask about symptoms.
