Intraventricular haemorrhage and posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation remain an important challenge in the management of prematurity and are associated with significant permanent morbidity.

Main outcome measures Maximum exercise capacity; right ventricular myocardial perfusion, regional wall motion, and thickening; right ventricular ejection fraction. Results The two youngest patients (3 ...

Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in ...

Delhi Cantt, has performed India's first-ever Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation using the HeartMate 3 device in a government institution. This marks a historic first for the Armed ...

In an attempt to objectively evaluate the status of the left ventricle in 32 patients with mitral stenosis, a modified form of supine leg exercise was done during simultaneous left and right heart ...

Evidence is presented which indicates that (1) the left ventricle is usually filled more rapidly than it is emptied, (2) the diastolic size appears to remain remarkably constant during a major portion ...

In this mini review, we will briefly introduce cardiac autonomic anatomy and autonomic activity in ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and discuss novel approaches of CANS modulation for treating VAs.

Research by Boston Children's validates an innovative approach to mapping the heart's invisible conduction tissue during ...

Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is predominantly caused by desmosomal genetic variants, and clinical hallmarks include arrhythmias and systolic dysfunction. We aimed ...

erasmusmc.nl Objective To evaluate changes in left ventricular diastolic function (LVDF) parameters and their associated risk factors over a period of 11 years among community-dwelling women and men.

Each side of the heart has two chambers, for a total of four chambers. The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers capable of propelling the blood out of the heart. The right ventricle ...
