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.

The left side of the heart accepts replenished blood from the lungs, and then pumps that blood out to all the body’s organs. Each side of the heart has two chambers, for a total of four chambers. 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 ...

Chronic: You have a history of heart failure, but your condition is relatively stable with no symptoms or with manageable symptoms. Left-sided heart failure involves the left ventricle (bottom left ...

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 ...

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 ...

Participants 4989 adults (mean age 36 years, 52% women) free of clinical heart failure at baseline. Outcome measures Incident heart failure, echocardiographic measures of left ventricular systolic ...

Objectives: The neural activity of the left stellate ganglion (LSG) is closely related to the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Bmal1 modulates genes associated with neural activity in the ...

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 bundle ...

The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood from the body and directs it to the right ventricle, where it is then pumped to the lungs to get oxygen. The oxygenated blood comes from the lungs and ...
