Despite advances in cardiovascular disease research in the past decades, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. In fact, sudden cardiac death (SCD) alone accounts for up to 20% of ...

Engineers developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The device could be used for studying right ventricle disorders ...

The interventricular septum separates the heart’s two ventricles and plays a vital role in maintaining correct bloodflow. Sometimes a defect can occur or be present from birth. This can increase the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers modeled the right ventricle (RV) to create a robot replicating right ventricular hemodynamics and biomechanics. Study: ...

A new editorial published in Comprehensive Physiology underscores the critical importance of understanding heart-lung interactions in pulmonary vascular disease (PVD). Tim Lahm, MD, a pulmonologist ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Sacubitril/valsartan was safe and effective for reverse remodeling and improving systolic function and ...

In a milestone study, researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the assessment of the heart's right ventricle, ...

Now, in a study in zebrafish and human heart muscle cells, researchers show that a tiny deletion in the A-band of titin — the loss of just nine amino acids out of more than 27,000 to 35,000 amino ...

A ventricular resection is a type of surgery that removes scar tissue or a tumor from a heart chamber to restore function. Often, a reconstruction or repair procedure follows this. The heart has four ...

Medtronic Biventricular Pacing Reduces Risk of Death and Heart Failure Visits by 27 Percent, Demonstrating Superiority and Real-World Clinical Benefits Compared to Right Ventricular Pacing MINNEAPOLIS ...
