Right ventricular pressure-volume (PV) analysis characterizes ventricular systolic and diastolic properties independent of loading conditions like volume status and afterload. While long-considered ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between peak high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and all-cause mortality at 30 days and 1 year, and left ventricular ejection ...

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 ...

Ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) are commonly seen in daily clinical practice. They are largely asymptomatic but can cause upsetting symptoms in some patients. In normal hearts, their occurrence is ...

So ventricular septal rupture is a rare surgical intervention with a high complication rate. On the other hand, it is a condition that when untreated has such a high mortality 1 that each survivor is ...

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 ...

Durable implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have been shown to improve survival and quality of life for patients with stage D heart failure. Even though LVADs remain underused overall, ...

Elevated stress 201 Tl lung uptake during myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) reflects left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Studies have shown that increased stress 201 Tl lung uptake correlates ...

The detection of frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in an athlete represents one of the most important red flags during pre-participation screening. We report the case of a 6-year-old ...
