Results from the multicenter GISSI-3 echo substudy have provided new information about changes in right-ventricular function in low-risk patients recovering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The ...

During embryonic development, the right ventricle is formed from the secondary heart field into a crescent-shaped, thin-walled structure. 6 It is the most anterior heart chamber, sitting just beneath ...

Your heart is divided into a left and a right side. The right side of your heart pumps blood to your lungs to receive oxygen. The left side pumps the oxygenated blood to the rest of your body. Right ...
