Additional treatment options

Ventricular restoration procedure

Surgical intervention to repair or reconstruct abnormal right ventricular tissue when structural damage causes significant dysfunction. Reserved for severe cases refractory to medical management.

surgical

Cardiac rehabilitation program

Phase II cardiac rehabilitation with supervised exercise training tailored to right ventricular capacity. Improves functional capacity within safe parameters.
