"Bei Aufnahme zeigte sich ein rechtsführend dekompensierter Patient mit bds Beinoedeme.
How would we phrase it in nice English?
"On admission, the patient presented with a decompensated right heart failure and bilateral lower extremity edema" is the best I can come up with at the moment. But I don't quite like it. It does not capture the "führend" part....

[predominantly] right-sided
... patient presents with predominantly right-sided decompensation
Whereas the combination of infarction and hypertension commonly leads to left-sided failure, an occasional patient with allergic angiitis and granulornatosis will present with predominantly right-sided decompensation
http://www.oocities.org/soho/gallery/6412/PolyNodo.htm
Once the full-blown pattern of venous engorgement, hepatic congestion, and peripheral edema dominates the clinical picture,
no substantial difficulty is encountered in the recognition of right-sided decompensation.
http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/17/2/164.full.pdf
An extensive physical examination showed there to be circulatory problems, with right-sided decompensation.
