A randomised trial of early palliative care for maternal stress in infants prenatally diagnosed with single-ventricle heart disease [PDF]
Children with single-ventricle disease experience high mortality and complex care. In other life-limiting childhood illnesses, paediatric palliative care may mitigate maternal stress.

Will the real ventricular architecture please stand up? [PDF]
Ventricular twisting, essential for cardiac function, is attributed to the contraction of myocardial helical fibers. The exact relationship between ventricular anatomy and function remains to be determined, but one commonly used explanatory model is the ...

Automatic segmentation of the left ventricle cavity and myocardium in MRI data [PDF]
A novel approach for the automatic segmentation has been developed to extract the epi-cardium and endo-cardium boundaries of the left ventricle (lv) of the heart. The developed segmentation scheme takes multi-slice and multi-phase magnetic resonance (MR)

Histone deacetylase adaptation in single ventricle heart disease and a young animal model of right ventricular hypertrophy. [PDF]
BackgroundHistone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are promising therapeutics for various forms of cardiac diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess cardiac HDAC catalytic activity and expression in children with single ventricle (SV) heart disease ...

An anatomical review of the right ventricle
Background: The right ventricle is the most anteriorly positioned chamber of the heart, sitting directly posterior to the sternum. The distinct anatomical features of the right ventricle create an approximately 10-fold difference in vascular resistance ...

Multi-Planar Deep Segmentation Networks for Cardiac Substructures from MRI and CT
Non-invasive detection of cardiovascular disorders from radiology scans requires quantitative image analysis of the heart and its substructures. There are well-established measurements that radiologists use for diseases assessment such as ejection ...
