Right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex problem with poor outcomes. Diagnosis requires a high degree of clinical suspicion, because many of the signs and symptoms of this condition are nonspecific ...

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 ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers modeled the right ventricle (RV) to create a robot replicating right ventricular hemodynamics and biomechanics. Study: ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or ...

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 ...

Medically reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MD Key Takeaways The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood and sends it to the lungs for oxygen.The electrical signal that makes the heart beat starts in ...
