What is the cure for right side heart failure?

Diuretics: Right sided hf is a challenge if in isolation. The most common cause is left heart failure, for which treatment is established. However, we dont fully understand rhf well. Currently, treatment is mostly diuretic therapy, to maintain adequate fluid balance. One can also add digoxin, and occasionally nitrates and hydralazine. One needs to look closely at the pulmonary vasculature as well.
