Background Left ventricular (LV) mass is closely associated with atherosclerotic heart disease, but the mechanisms are not ...

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 ...

The left-hand side pumps oxygenated blood around the body. Each side of the heart consists of an atrium and a ventricle which are two connected chambers. The atria (plural of atrium) are where the ...

This picture is from research of Wenjun Ying of the Department of Mathematics at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who studies electrical wave propagation in the heart with the technique of adaptive ...

The left-hand side pumps oxygenated blood around the body. Each side of the heart consists of an atrium and a ventricle which are two connected chambers. The atria (plural of atrium) are where the ...

A left ventricular aneurysm can form after a transmural myocardial infarction and involves dilation of the left ventricular wall in an abnormal fashion. Most commonly, the apex of the heart is ...

Babies born with otherwise-lethal single ventricle heart defects can gain decades of life from early surgical intervention, but their lives are still fraught with medical complications that ...

The ancient Greek philosopher and polymath Aristotle once concluded that the human heart is tri-chambered and that it was the ...

Left-sided heart failure, also known as left-ventricular heart failure, involves one of the lower chambers of the heart, known as the left ventricle. The left ventricle first receives oxygenated ...

The first biohybrid model of human ventricles has been used to answer a centuries-old question. Unlike other organs, the heart cannot repair itself after injury, so being able to engineer an entire ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...
