High blood pressure is linked to a myocardial anatomical change called LVH. Learn how to offset left ventricular thickening ...

SUNY Poly Assistant Professor Dr. Amit Sangwan and colleagues recently published research titled "Feasibility Testing of the ...

Abstract and Introduction Education for Treatment of LVAD Recipients Emerging Issues Surrounding LVAD Recipients Conclusion References The driveline exits the abdomen and attaches to the system ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy was first reported as the partial replacement of the right ventricular myocardium by fat or fibrous tissue. In 1965, researchers described the ...

BACKGROUND: The ability to predict recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in response to guideline-directed therapy among patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy is desired. We sought ...

This paper defends the thesis that the heart can also develop sports injuries at the ventricular level. We will elaborate on our hypothesis, originally put forward in 2003, that intense endurance ...

BACKGROUND: Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without left ventricular outflow tract obstruction commonly experience ...

Ventricular fibrillation—more commonly known as VFib—is a life-threatening heart rhythm problem that occurs when your heart's chambers aren't able to pump blood effectively. Normally, the electrical ...

What are Ventricular Assist Devices? Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are mechanical heart pumps. 1 They use electrical and mechanical technology to support cardiac functioning by helping blood ...

The following is a summary of “Small left ventricular chamber size and Mortality in a large general population,” published in ...

Ventricular assist devices are mechanical pumps that take over the function of the damaged ventricle in order to re-establish normal hemodynamics and end-organ blood flow. In addition, VADs unload ...

If you’re one of the many people who experience premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) during and after exercise, you may wonder whether it’s safe for you to exercise with PVCs. When you ...
