"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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Background Patients with single ventricles after bidirectional Glenn (BDG) are placed on ACE inhibitors (ACEIs) to reduce ...

Engineers developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The device could be used for studying right ventricle disorders ...

Older patients with PAH who were at least 55 years old showed significantly smaller improvements in 6-minute walk distance.

In a milestone study, researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the assessment of the heart's right ventricle, ...
