Right Ventricular Failure
Right Ventricular Failure: Unrecognised high mortality equal to that of LV failure. Right heart is a low-pressure system, good at dealing with volume (preload) to a point, does poorly with increased afterload (i.e. PH).
Henri Mondor
Henri Mondor (1885 – 1962) was a French physician, surgeon, and a historian. Mondor disease (1939); Penile Mondor disease (1958)
Mondor disease

Henry Bazett
Henry Cuthbert Bazett (1885 – 1950) was an English physiologist. Eponym: Bazett's formula to calculate QTc interval for varying heart rates
Penile Mondor disease
Penile Mondor’s disease (PMD) is an isolated superficial thrombophlebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis.
Bazett formula
Bazett formula 'corrects' the measured QT interval to a value (QTc) attributable to a heart rate of 60 bpm. Thus providing a QT interval value that a particular patient would theoretically have if their heart rate was 60 beats/min
