Congenital tunnel‐shaped ventricular septal defect

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

Building the Right Ventricle [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2007
See related article, pages 1000–1007 Abnormal development of the arterial pole of the heart underlies a significant fraction of congenital heart defects. Critical steps in arterial pole development are formation of the myocardial outflow tract (or conotruncal region) and its subsequent division into separate left and right ventricular outlets ...

Structure-based finite strain modelling of the human left ventricle in diastole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Finite strain analyses of the left ventricle provide important information on heart function and have the potential to provide insights into the biomechanics of myocardial contractility in health and disease. Systolic dysfunction is the most common cause

Forgotten No More—The Role of Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction: An Echocardiographic Perspective

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2021
During the last decade, studies have raised awareness of the crucial role that the right ventricle plays in various clinical settings, including diseases primarily linked to the left ventricle.

A Rare Case of Double-Chambered Right Ventricle Associated with Ventricular Septal Defect and Congenital Absence of the Pulmonary Valve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a rare congenital heart disorder involving 2 different right ventricle (RV) pressure compartments that is often associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD). Usually, the obstruction is caused by an anomalous

Left-ventricle myocardium segmentation using a coupled level-set with a priori knowledge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper presents a coupled level-set segmentation of the myocardium of the left ventricle of the heart using a priori information. From a fast marching initialisation, two fronts representing the endocardium and epicardium boundaries of the left ...

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

open access: yesThe 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.

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

open access: yesThe 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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)

Mechanisms of Acute Right Ventricular Injury in Cardiothoracic Surgical and Critical Care Settings: Part 2

open access: yes, 2023
The right ventricle (RV) is intricately linked in the clinical presentation of critical illness; however, the basis of this is not well-understood and has not been studied as extensively as the left ventricle. There has been an increased awareness of the
