Right ventricular dysfunction has emerged as a critical determinant of morbidity and mortality across the spectrum of heart failure. Traditionally overshadowed by left ventricular performance, the ...

Right-sided heart failure is often caused by pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale) in which the enlargement or failure of the right ventricle leads to circulatory congestion in the lungs as well as ...

A new cardiac magnetic resonance imaging-based measurement may improve how physicians assess a common heart valve condition, ...

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 ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study published March 6 in Journal of the American College of ...

Researchers discovered why ventricular assist devices (VADs) used to support the left ventricle of cardiogenic shock patients can induce right ventricle dysfunction. They also developed a test that ...

Jervaughn Hunter earned his Ph.D. in the Shu Chien-Gene Lay Department of Bioengineering at UC San Diego and is the study's first author. An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

The right coronary artery and the atrioventricular node are adjacent to the annulus and are important anatomical considerations for surgical or transcatheter interventions. The right coronary artery ...

Routine quantitative CT scans performed during acute COPD exacerbations can reveal undiagnosed cardiac dysfunction, with ...
