Congenital tunnel‐shaped ventricular septal defect

Clinical Case Reports, 2023
Key Clinical Message We report a 47‐year‐old man who presented with right‐sided heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a tunnel‐shaped communication (ventricular septal defect) between the left ventricle and the right ventricle with a ...

Normal echocardiographic measurements in a Turkish population: The Healthy Heart ECHO-TR Trial

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2019
Objective: Normal reference values for the cardiac chambers are widely based on cohorts from European or American populations. In this study, we aimed to obtain normal echocardiographic measurements of healthy Turkish volunteers to reveal the age, gender,

Von Willebrand Factor and the Right Ventricle (the MESA-Right Ventricle Study) [PDF]

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2012
Elevation in plasma activity of von Willebrand factor (vWF) reflects endothelial dysfunction and predicts death in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Higher vWF activity is also associated with a lower right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction in pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Changes in heart morphometric parameters over the course of a monocrotaline-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension rat model

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Background Aim of this study was to assess changes in cardiac morphometric parameters at different stages of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) using a monocrotaline-induced rat model. Methods Four groups were distinguished: I–control, non-PAH (n = 18)

Correction of Double-Chambered Right Ventricle 40 Years after Pulmonary Valvuloplasty

The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2015
Background Double-chambered right ventricle is a partial separation of the right ventricle by pathological tissue. This anomaly is described in infants and children but can also be diagnosed in young adults.

Evaluation of Predictive Value of CT Pulmonary Angiography for Right Ventricular Failure in Patients with Pulmonary Embolism

Frontiers in Biomedical Technologies, 2023
Purpose: Right ventricle failure is a well-known complication following pulmonary thromboembolism. Although Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) findings are supposed to be a surrogate for patients’ outcome, investigations based on this ...

An anatomical review of the right ventricle

Translational Research in Anatomy, 2019
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 ...

Acute exhaustive aerobic exercise training impair cardiomyocyte function and calcium handling in Sprague-Dawley rats. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
INTRODUCTION:Recent data from long-distance endurance participants suggest that cardiac function is impaired after completion. Existing data further indicate that right ventricular function is more affected than left ventricular function.
