This is because prolonged exposure to right ventricular overload results in right ventricular hypertrophy and a gradual decline in diastolic function (Meyer et al., 2010). Previous experimental ...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

Right ventricular–pulmonary artery coupling (RV-PAC ... Persistent elevation of RV workload induces changes in the myocytes, including an increased cross-sectional area and stiffening of sarcomeres ...

The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers capable of propelling the blood out of the heart. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood to all ...

Dr T S Hornung, Department of Paediatric Cardiology, Freeman Hospital, High Heaton, Newcastle upon Tyne NE7 7DN, UK. Background Patients with systemic ventricles of right ventricular morphology are at ...

The evaluation included right heart catheterisation, cardiac MRI and endomyocardial biopsy ... mild global hypokinesis, mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and no significant valvular ...

Differential diagnosis with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC ... athletes and ARVC patients can be explained by the different physiopathology characterising the two conditions: ...

From there, blood flows across the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, where it is sent to collect oxygen in the lungs. The electrical system of the heart is a complex system of specialized ...

Echocardiography showed biventricular hypertrophy, midventricular obstruction with a peak flow velocity of 3.1 m/s in the mid-left ventricle, and paradoxic jet flow, an early diastolic flow from the ...

A characteristic sign of diabetic cardiomyopathy is left ventricle hypertrophy, in which the wall of the bottom left chamber in your heart becomes enlarged. Left ventricle hypertrophy is present ...
