Right-sided heart failure/biventricular failure

- Swelling in the legs (oedema).- The oedema may lead to dry skin on the lower part of the legs due to pressure from inside the tissue. There may also be an eczema-type rash which can be complicated by ulcers which do not heal (venous leg ulcers).- Possible accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity and organs, especially the liver. The organs swell and the abdominal wall might expand.
