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 ...

Patients who have right ventricular dysfunction around the time of TAVR have an elevated cardiovascular mortality risk 1 year later, a new study shows. The relationship was seen regardless of when RV ...

Enlargement of one of the heart’s four chambers – the right ventricle – was the best predictor of which patients with severe Covid-19 infections were most likely to die, doctors reported Monday. A ...

Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is prevalent in 41.7 percent of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection ...

Normally, the aorta (i.e., the main artery transporting blood from our heart to the rest of our body) originates from the left ventricle, while the pulmonary artery, which carries blood from the heart ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study. In 2019, this same hydrogel was shown to be safe in humans ...

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 ...

A right bundle branch block (RBBB) involves a delay in the electrical impulses reaching the heart’s right ventricle, which can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. While RBBB doesn’t ...

Aims Prolonged endurance exercise is associated with elevated biomarkers associated with myocardial damage and modest evidence of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Recent studies have reported more ...

Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is prevalent in 41.7 percent of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
