Right ventricular dysfunction is a major determinant of outcome in patients with complex congenital heart disease, as in tetralogy of Fallot. In these patients, right ventricular dysfunction emerges ...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

imperial.ac.uk Often overlooked, and considered the poor relation of the left ventricle, there is increasing interest in the right ventricle particularly with regard to right ventricular failure.

Dextrocardia, levocardia, or mesocardia was seen together with right pulmonary isomerism and complex structural heart defects in the single ventricle spectrum. A dominant chamber of left ...

However, pulmonary haemodynamics correlate poorly with patient symptoms, which are influenced by right ventricular tolerance of the increased afterload. How best to manage symptomatic patients with ...

The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers capable of propelling the blood out of the heart. The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood to all ...

From there, blood flows across the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle, where it is sent to collect oxygen in the lungs. The electrical system of the heart is a complex system of specialized ...

Figure 3. Twelve-lead ECG tracing during stress test shows the typical aspect of bidirectional ventricular tachycardia characterized by 180° alternating QRS axis on a beat-to-beat basis, with a right ...

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 ...

This results in increased afterload on the left ventricle ... is calcification at the base of the aortic valve and damage to the His bundle as it perforates the right fibrous trigone.
