The right ventricle has long been the 'forgotten ventricle', as it is difficult to image owing to its complex morphology, its thin wall with coarse trabeculations, and its anterior position within the ...

For children with single-ventricle disease, death or major morbidity occurs in 87%, and shunt type impact varies.

Older patients with PAH who were at least 55 years old showed significantly smaller improvements in 6-minute walk distance.

Patients who have right ventricular dysfunction around the time of TAVR have an elevated cardiovascular mortality risk 1 year later, a new study shows. The relationship was seen regardless of when RV ...

Enlargement of one of the heart’s four chambers – the right ventricle – was the best predictor of which patients with severe Covid-19 infections were most likely to die, doctors reported Monday. A ...

Normally, the aorta (i.e., the main artery transporting blood from our heart to the rest of our body) originates from the left ventricle, while the pulmonary artery, which carries blood from the heart ...

Patients who developed late right heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery suffered more major adverse events and had worse survival, researchers found. At 1 month ...

The ventricles share a common septum and, therefore, the filling of one influences the compliance of the other. This phenomenon is known as direct diastolic ventricular interaction. The interaction is ...

Aims Prolonged endurance exercise is associated with elevated biomarkers associated with myocardial damage and modest evidence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Recent studies have reported more ...

This communication reports 4 cases of pulmonary-valve atresia with intact ventricular septum and hypoplastic right ventricle in which angiography demonstrated large diverticula and sinusoids that ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. Right ventricular hypertrophy is ...

In contrast to the normal anatomical origin of the aorta and pulmonary artery from the left and right ventricle, respectively, infants with double outlet right ventricle (DORV) have both great vessels ...
