One of the most feared complications is the occurrence of thromboembolic events (mostly cerebrovascular accidents) due to left ventricular (LV) thrombus formation. The risk of LV thrombus formation is ...

Studies investigating the effects of aldosterone on left ventricular abnormalities have shown a consistent pattern. It appears that aldosterone is able to produce tissue injury, including injury to ...

After 4 weeks of injection, the LSG function, neural activity, left ventricular effective refractory period (ERP), and action potential duration (APD) were measured. Electrocardiography for 1 h was ...

The supplement tricaprin, which is found in coconut or MCT oil, improved long-term survival for people with triglyceride ...

The study included 1,436 patients with preserved left ventricular function after a myocardial infarction. Of these, 324 patients could not be analyzed due to poor image quality or incompatible ...

Myocardial adaptation and the transition to right ventricular failure remain poorly ... ventriculo-arterial and interventricular interactions. EDFF, end-diastolic forward flow; LV, left ventricle; PA, ...

To be distinguished from aneurysm of an aortic sinus (Valsalva) is the rare condition in which an abnormal channel begins in the ascending aorta (above the right coronary artery), bypasses the aortic ...

Subaortic stenosis is a complicated subject. It may be represented by a primary anomaly of the left ventricular outflow tract or may be secondary either to conditions primary in the mitral valve or to ...

Background Left ventricular (LV) mass is closely associated with atherosclerotic heart disease, but the mechanisms are not well defined. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with ...

These findings are consistent with left ventricular wall thickening due to an infiltrative myocardial disease, several of which cause restrictive cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography showed not only ...
