Background Left ventricular (LV) mass is closely associated with atherosclerotic heart disease, but the mechanisms are not ...

The CVP is a good approximation of right atrial pressure, which is a major determinant of right ventricular filling. It has therefore been assumed that the CVP is a good indicator of right ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood flows retrograde (backwards) across the aortic valve from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. This abnormal backflow of blood leads to ...

A new biological patch, designed from heart cells grown in the laboratory, could bring a glimmer of hope in the treatment of ...

This was associated with inducibility of ventricular arrhythmias in 42% of the exercise ... or derived indirectly from echocardiography during exercise (like pressure estimates). Although good ...

Transient asymptomatic decreases in blood pressure were observed over the first 24 hours after TX45 dosing. Hemodynamic Results: TX45 administration resulted in meaningful improvement in both left ...

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and opens due to a build-up of pressure in the right atrium. The bicuspid valve is located between the left atrium and ...
