BackgroundExternal ventricular drain (EVD) placement is mandatory for several pathologies. The misplacement rate of the EVD varies widely in literature, ranging from 12.3 to 60%.

Twisted atrioventricular connections in double inlet right ventricle: evaluation by magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Twisted atrioventricular connections occur almost exclusively in the hearts with biventricular atrioventricular connections. Only one example of double inlet left ventricle has been illustrated in which the axes of the two atrioventricular valves crossed

Altered Oxygen Utilisation in Rat Left Ventricle and Soleus after 14 Days, but Not 2 Days, of Environmental Hypoxia. [PDF]
The effects of environmental hypoxia on cardiac and skeletal muscle metabolism are dependent on the duration and severity of hypoxic exposure, though factors which dictate the nature of the metabolic response to hypoxia are poorly understood.

Evidence that conflict regarding size of haemodynamic response to interventricular delay optimization of cardiac resynchronization therapy may arise from differences in how atrioventricular delay is kept constant. [PDF]
Aims: Whether adjusting interventricular (VV) delay changes haemodynamic efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is controversial, with conflicting results.

A geometric multiscale model for the numerical simulation of blood flow in the human left heart [PDF]
We present a new computational model for the numerical simulation of blood flow in the human left heart. To this aim, we use the Navier-Stokes equations in an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian formulation to account for the endocardium motion and we model the cardiac valves by means of the Resistive Immersed Implicit Surface method.

Analysis of left ventricular behaviour in diastole by means of finite element method [PDF]
The human left ventricle in diastole can be modelled as a passive structure with incremental internal pressure change being considered as the load. Recent developments in engineering stress analysis provide techniques for predicting the behaviour of ...

Ischemia Enhances the Acute Stretch-Induced Increase in Calcium Spark Rate in Ventricular Myocytes
Introduction: In ventricular myocytes, spontaneous release of calcium (Ca2+) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum via ryanodine receptors (“Ca2+ sparks”) is acutely increased by stretch, due to a stretch-induced increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
