Medication: The best way is to come with a correct diagnosis. The majority of right heart failure can be treated by medication for which you should consult cardiologists who specialize in heart failure.

Medication: Usually therapy is with medications li similar to left heart failure. Diuretics, beta blockers, ace inhibitors. If a specific cause can be identified that should be treated as well. That could coronary heart disease affecting the right ventricle or a lung process that may be causing the right ventricle to work eccessively.
