"This study showed that RV function, including RV strain, decreases over time despite preserved LV ejection fraction, and is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. RV function may be more ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent study showed that children undergoing bilateral lung transplantation for severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) had a full recovery of their right ventricular (RV) systolic function at ...

Engineers developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The device could be used for studying right ventricle disorders ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Sacubitril/valsartan was safe and effective for reverse remodeling and improving systolic function and ...

Researchers have found the first evidence that some athletes who take part in extreme endurance exercise such as marathons, endurance triathlons, alpine cycling or ultra triathlons may incur damage to ...

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with ...

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a rare congenital disorder that has a yet to be identified cause and/ or predictive factor. Infants with DORV have great arteries (i.e. the aorta and pulmonary ...
