The right ventricle has long been the 'forgotten ventricle', as it is difficult to image owing to its complex morphology, its thin wall with coarse trabeculations, and its anterior position within the ...

"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 ...

Within the past 12 months, I or my spouse/partner have had a financial interest/arrangement or affiliation with the organization(s) listed below: Receive the the latest news, research, and ...

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 ...

A new analysis, designed to shed light on the benefits of SGLT2 inhibition in patients who have heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), shows that dapagliflozin (Farxiga; AstraZeneca) ...

TomTec Imaging Systems GmbH is introducing at the EuroEcho Imaging 2014 in Vienna the innovative 4D RV-Function © software, for right ventricular function analysis ...

To assess how a patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is faring on therapy, look at the right heart, said Anjali Vaidya, MD, in a presentation at the Annual Meeting of the American ...

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 ...

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: ...
