The generalisability of these relationships between cohorts is unknown. The aims of this study were to compare left ventricular (LV) shapes in patients with differing cardiovascular risk factor ...

The prognosis of left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) remains elusive despite its recognition as a clinical entity for >30 years. We sought to identify clinical and imaging characteristics and risk ...

The modeling and simulation of power systems often requires repetitive tasks that can be automated with scripting or an ap-plication programming interface (API). However, an automation in RSCAD is not ...

Background Recent advances in surgical techniques for the repair of left ventricular aneurysms (LVAs) include the use of an endoventricular patch to exclude the aneurysm cavity. This technique has ...

Background: Resting left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) occurs in 25% of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and is an important cause of symptoms and disease progression.

Background Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic value ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess patient satisfaction and functional results at long term follow-up after surgical correction for Peyronie's disease (PD) and congenital penile curvature (CPC) with the technique ...

Generalized ligamentous laxity treated with arthroscopic labral repair and capsular plication yielded 5-year outcomes which compared favorably to a control group. Survivorship at 5-year follow-up ...

Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) is a dangerous type of arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. It affects your heart’s ventricles. Your heart is a muscle system that contains 4 chambers. The 2 bottom ...

4D model-guided cardiac resynchronization lead placement improved left ventricular function vs. standard care. Quality of life and physical function were not significantly different between the ...

Methamphetamine and cocaine use each confer heightened risk for incident ventricular arrhythmias and all-cause mortality, according to a recent study. Methamphetamine and cocaine use each heighten ...

Objective Left ventricular remodelling following a ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) is an adaptive response to maintain the cardiac output despite myocardial tissue loss. Limited ...
