The right ventricle: interaction with the pulmonary circulation
Critical Care, 2016 The primary role of the right ventricle (RV) is to deliver all the blood it receives per beat into the pulmonary circulation without causing right atrial pressure to rise.

Functional role of t-tubules on calcium transients in canine cardiac myocytes
Heart and Mind, 2019 Background: A loss of t-tubules and alterations in ultrastructure occur in cultured ventricular myocytes. A similar alteration in t-tubules and ultrastructure is well documented under certain pathological conditions such as heart failure. We examined the

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019 Background Left ventricular (LV) involvement is common in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). We aim to evaluate LV involvement in ARVC patients by cardiovascular magnetic resonance feature tracking.

Pathways Regulating Establishment and Maintenance of Cardiac Chamber Identity in Zebrafish
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021 The vertebrate heart is comprised of two types of chambers—ventricles and atria—that have unique morphological and physiological properties. Effective cardiac function depends upon the distinct characteristics of ventricular and atrial cardiomyocytes ...

Transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography for the assessment of straddling tricuspid or mitral valves [PDF]
, 2008 Background The advent of 3D echocardiography has provided a technique which, potentially, could afford significant additional information over conventional cross-sectional echocardiography in the assessment of patients with straddling atrioventricular ...

Continuous addition of progenitors forms the cardiac ventricle in zebrafish
bioRxiv, 2017 The vertebrate heart develops from several progenitor lineages. After early-differentiating first heart field (FHF) progenitors form the linear heart tube, late-differentiating second heart field (SHF) progenitors extend the atrium and ventricle, and ...

Left ventricular active stiffness: dependency on time and inotropic state [PDF]
, 1978 Left ventricular systolic stiffness was measured by rapidly changing ventricular volume (within 7 ms) of isovolumically contracting isolated rabbit hearts. Instantaneous pressure-volume relations were found to be linear with slopes that depended upon the

Mixed Valvular Disease Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: Quantification and Systematic Differentiation Using Clinical Measurements and Image-Based Patient‐Specific In Silico Modeling [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Mixed valvular disease (MVD), mitral regurgitation (MR) from pre‐existing disease in conjunction with paravalvular leak (PVL) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), is one of the most important stimuli for left ventricle (LV)

Using Systolic Local Mechanical Load to Predict Fiber Orientation in Ventricles
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 A simple rule adopted for myofiber reorientation in the ventricles is pursued by taking the microscopic branching network of myocytes into account.

Will the real ventricular architecture please stand up? [PDF]
, 2017 Ventricular twisting, essential for cardiac function, is attributed to the contraction of myocardial helical fibers. The exact relationship between ventricular anatomy and function remains to be determined, but one commonly used explanatory model is the ...
