Origins and consequences of congenital heart defects affecting the right ventricle

open access: yesCardiovascular Research, 2017
Congenital heart disease is a major health issue, accounting for a third of all congenital defects. Improved early surgical management has led to a growing population of adults with congenital heart disease, including patients with defects affecting the ...

Heart transplant for the failing ischaemic ventricle

Cardiovascular Surgery, 1996
Clinical application of heart transplantation goes beyond 28 years' experience. Ischaemic heart diseases remain, with idiopathic cardiomyopathies, the main indications for cardiac transplant. A combination of haemodynamic, contractile and viability measurements may be useful to choose between transplant and coronary revascularization for the failing ...

Engineering Models of the Heart Left Ventricle

ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2022
Despite capturing the imagination of scientists for decades, the goal of creating an artificial heart for transplantation proved to be significantly more challenging than initially anticipated. Toward this goal, recent ground-breaking studies demonstrate the development of functional left ventricular (LV) models.

The Development and Structure of the Ventricles in the Human Heart

Pediatric Cardiology, 2009
Over the past decade, much has been learned concerning the origin and development of the ventricles. However, most, if not all, of the new information has come from study of the mouse heart. Most of this information has yet to be assimilated by those who study ventricular function or diagnose congenitally malformed hearts.

The anatomy of hearts with double inlet ventricle

Cardiology in the Young, 2006
In the past, hearts with double inlet ventricle have been amongst the most contentious of congenital cardiac malformations. This is because, although most examples found with this particular atrioventricular connection have one big and one small chamber within the ventricular mass, for many years the variant most frequently encountered, with a dominant

Regional analysis of the left ventricle of the heart

Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics, 2006
This paper presents a method to analyze the local wall motion of the left ventricle of the heart. Data are sets of points (obtained from various medical imaging modalities) corresponding to surfaces of the left ventricle, which evolve as a function of time.

Double-chambered left ventricle – a “heart within a heart”

Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology, 2018
A 20-year-old previously well man drowned after performing a back-flip off a bridge into a river. At autopsy no significant injuries or organic illness were identified. An unusual incidental finding was a double chambered left ventricle, or so-called "heart within a heart", with the left ventricle subdivided into two separate chambers by a muscular ...

On the Regional Metabolism of Beef Heart Ventricles

Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1973
AbstractThe concentrations of some oligoelements (iron, copper, zinc) and electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, potassium) and the activity of the succinate‐cytochrome c reductase system were determined in various regions of the ventricles of beef heart. In the subepicardial layers of the ventricles and in the upper part of the septum a higher content of ...

Diastolic shape of the right ventricle of the heart

The Anatomical Record, 1998
Knowledge of right ventricular (RV) shape is important to the understanding of RV mechanical function and for the improvement of clinically important RV volume estimation techniques. Refinements to the simplest conceptions of RV shape are presented statistically here, based on a quantitative analysis of three-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) images ...

The Right Ventricle in Congenital Heart Disease

Cardiology Clinics, 1992
An increasing number of children with congenital heart disease are surviving into adulthood, creating new, unusual patients with different physiologic and anatomic problems for the adult cardiologist. This article discusses those lesions affecting primarily the right ventricle.
