Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), Doppler tissue imaging–derived tricuspid lateral annular systolic wave velocity (S′), and right ventricular fractional area change (RV‐FAC) are the ...

He had an MRI that revealed a strain of his right adductor muscle, which is part of the groin, and the diagnosis was confirmed by a second opinion from a specialist. Randle was hurt during Minnesota’s ...

Cardiac muscle tissue, or myocardium ... when amyloid proteins collect and form deposits in the walls of the left ventricle. The amyloid deposits cause the ventricle’s walls to stiffen ...

Case reports have described surgical ablation of PVCs originating from the left ventricular outflow tract and from the papillary muscles. 4,5 El-Eshmawi, et al., described three patients with ...

However, pulmonary haemodynamics correlate poorly with patient symptoms, which are influenced by right ventricular tolerance of the increased afterload. How best to manage symptomatic patients with ...

A “useless” muscle that allows some people to wiggle their ears actually activates when we strain to hear something. Our ape ancestors lost the ability to pivot their ears when they diverged ...

Depending on the etiology and pathological context, ECM remodeling can primarily affect the left or the right ventricle, respective atria, or all chambers of the heart at once. In this review, we ...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease resulting in increased right ventricular (RV) afterload and RV remodeling. PAH results in altered RV structure and function at different scales from ...
