Synergistic Model of Cardiac Function with a Heart Assist Device [PDF]
The breakdown of cardiac self-organization leads to heart diseases and failure, the number one cause of death worldwide. The left ventricular pressure–volume relation plays a key role in the diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

3D printing is a transformative technology in congenital heart disease [PDF]
Survival in congenital heart disease has steadily improved since 1938, when Dr. Robert Gross successfully ligated for the first time a patent ductus arteriosus in a 7-year-old child.

Significance of myocardial tenascin-C expression in left ventricular remodelling and long-term outcome in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Aim Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a variety of causes, and no useful approach to predict left ventricular (LV) remodelling and long-term outcome has yet been established.

Right ventricular failure: Current strategies and future development
Right heart failure can be defined as a clinical syndrome consisting of signs and symptoms of heart failure resulting from right ventricular dysfunction. Function is normally altered due to three mechanisms: (1) pressure overload (2) volume overload, or (

Surgical embolectomy for acute massive pulmonary embolism: state of the art [PDF]
Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition that can potentially lead to death caused by right ventricular (RV) failure and the consequent cardiogenic shock.
