Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography for the assessment of straddling tricuspid or mitral valves [PDF]
Background The advent of 3D echocardiography has provided a technique which, potentially, could afford significant additional information over conventional cross-sectional echocardiography in the assessment of patients with straddling atrioventricular ...

Assessment of left ventricle preload by transthoracic echocardiography: an easy task? [PDF]
In sicker hearts, right atrial pressure (an estimation of right ventricle preload) are not equivalent to left atrial pressure (an estimation of left ventricle preload).

By-passing the Right Ventricle.
Summary1. An anastomosis was made between the right atrial appendage and the main pulmonary artery.2. In acute experiments, the venous pressure was demonstrated to drive venous return through the lungs without benefit of the pumping action of the right ventricle.3. In chronic experiments, the anastomosis acts similarly to a tricuspid insufficiency.

Adipokines and the Right Ventricle: The MESA-RV Study. [PDF]
ObjectiveObesity is associated with changes in both right (RV) and left (LV) ventricular morphology, but the biological basis of this finding is not well established. We examined whether adipokine levels were associated with RV morphology and function in

Semi-Supervised Segmentation of Multi-vendor and Multi-center Cardiac MRI using Histogram Matching [PDF]
Automatic segmentation of the heart cavity is an essential task for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised segmentation setup for leveraging unlabeled data to segment Left-ventricle, Right-ventricle, and Myocardium. We utilize an enhanced version of residual U-Net architecture on a large-scale cardiac MRI dataset.

The vulnerable right ventricle
The right ventricle (RV) is uniquely at risk in many patients with repaired or palliated congenital heart disease (CHD) such as tetralogy of Fallot, corrected transposition, single right ventricle, and in those with pulmonary hypertension. These patients live with abnormal cardiac loading conditions throughout their life, predisposing them to right ...

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 ...

Don't Forget the Right Ventricle [PDF]
In their recent article, González-Tallada et al. demonstrated an incidence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) in 27.3% of patients undergoing thoracic surgery.1 MINS was defined as a postoperative troponin I level >0.04 ng/mL (>99th percentile) without evidence of a nonischemic cause of troponin I elevation.
