mitral regugitation: left side.-
pulmonary hypertension: the pulmonary hypertension causes right side failure but not viceversa, the same with sistemic hypertension.-myocardial infarction: both.-
sleep apnea: left side.-
aortic stenosis: non
COPD: right side.-

Both
MI (depending on where the damage is but mostly is left-sided)
Right sided
Pulm HTN
Sleep Apnea
COPD
Left sided
MR
HTN
AS
Anything increasing the pulmonary blood pressure will cause right sided failure. Additionally many things on that list can cause left sided diastolic dysfunction which is just as serious and can be equally debilitating as systolic dysfunction.
