Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

Right ventricular dysfunction has emerged as a critical determinant of morbidity and mortality across the spectrum of heart failure. Traditionally overshadowed by left ventricular performance, the ...

Patients who developed late right heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery suffered more major adverse events and had worse survival, researchers found. At 1 month ...

The exploration started in 2004 with a 62-year-old man who presented to an emergency department with acute shortness of breath, tachycardia with chest discomfort, and light-headedness, Amado Alejandro ...

The right coronary artery and the atrioventricular node are adjacent to the annulus and are important anatomical considerations for surgical or transcatheter interventions. The right coronary artery ...

Within the prior 24 months, I have had a financial relationship with a company producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients: Receive the the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers modeled the right ventricle (RV) to create a robot replicating right ventricular hemodynamics and biomechanics. Study: ...

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with ...

Left sided heart failure occurs when there is weakness or damage in the left side of the heart. Right sided heart failure develops when there is weakness of the muscles in the right side of the heart.
