Right Heart Size and Right Ventricular Reserve in Pulmonary Hypertension: Impact on Management and Prognosis

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
Various parameters reflecting right heart size, right ventricular function and capacitance have been shown to be prognostically important in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Evaluating Right Ventricular Function Using Longitudinal Displacement

open access: yesMedicina
Background and Objectives: The right ventricle has a complex, asymmetrical shape, making accurate imaging and functional assessment by echocardiography challenging.

Global longitudinal strain correlates to systemic right ventricular function

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2020
Background The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the relationship between right ventricular function derived from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), echocardiography and exercise stress test performance, NT-proBNP (N-terminal proB ...

Subtle right ventricular dysfunction in asymptomatic chronic heavy cigarette smokers: a speckle tracking case-control study

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2021
Background Chronic heavy cigarette smoking can affect the right ventriclular function. The standard echocardiography may not show early right ventricular functional changes, and a more sensitive measure is needed. The aim of this work was to evaluate the

Improvement of left ventricular systolic function after intervention on right ventricular hemodynamics

open access: yesAnnals of Pediatric Cardiology
Background: The importance of right–left ventricular interactions is increasingly recognized in patients with congenital heart disease. Interventions to improve right ventricular volume/pressure overloading may result in improvement of left ventricular ...

MECHANISMS OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR FAILURE AND BIVENTRICULAR MECHANICAL CIRCULATORY SUPPORT

open access: yesВестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2014
The paper presents a review of the problems of mechanical circulatory support with left ventricular bypass in total cardiac failure. Dysfunction of right ventricular defines the high mortality on left ventricular device.

Molecular genetics of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in South Africa [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a heritable disorder characterised by progressive degeneration of the right ventricular myocardium, arrhythmias and an increased risk of sudden death at a young age. Fourteen chromosomal loci have

TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 attenuates pulmonary fibroblast activation by suppressing mTOR and restoring autophagic flux

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TGF‐β1 stimulation downregulates lysosomal channel TRPML1 in pulmonary fibroblasts. The TRPML1 agonist ML‐SA5 suppressed fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast activation and collagen production. Mechanistically, ML‐SA5 inhibited mTOR phosphorylation, restored autophagic flux, and its effects were enhanced by rapamycin (mTOR inhibitor) and reversed by MHY1485 ...

Assessment of Right Ventricle Function in Patients with Mitral Repair: Case Series

open access: yesAnnals of Cardiac Anaesthesia
Objectives: We aim to assess right ventricular function in patients undergoing mitral valve repair using trans-esophageal echocardiography, focusing on the predictive value of right ventricular longitudinal strain compared to other echocardiographic ...
