Importance of Cx43 for Right Ventricular Function [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
In the heart, connexins form gap junctions, hemichannels, and are also present within mitochondria, with connexin 43 (Cx43) being the most prominent connexin in the ventricles.

Describing right ventricular function [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2013
In pulmonary hypertension and other conditions, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome and left heart failure, right ventricular dysfunction is a prognostic determinant. Therefore, functional parameters pertaining to the right heart alone,i.e.independent of its loading conditions, should be used to quantify right ventricular disease progression ...

The role of the right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2011
Although changes in the pulmonary vasculature are the primary cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), severity of symptoms and survival are strongly associated with right ventricular function, and right heart failure is the main cause of death in

Pulmonary hypertension and indicators of right ventricular function [PDF]

Frontiers in Medicine, 2016
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare disease, whose underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. It is characterized by pulmonary arterial vasoconstriction and vessels wall thickening, mainly intimal and medial layers. Several molecular pathways have

Assessment of Right Ventricular Function With CT and Echocardiography in Patients With Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Critical Care Explorations, 2021
Objectives:. Changes in right ventricular size and function are frequently observed in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The majority of patients who receive venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation undergo chest CT and ...

Right ventricular global dysfunction score: a new concept of right ventricular function assessment in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundRight ventricular (RV) function is currently being evaluated solely according to the properties of RV myocardium. We have tested a concept that in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), RV assessment should ...

Levosimendan, milrinone, and dobutamine in experimental acute pulmonary embolism

Pulmonary Circulation, 2021
Acute pulmonary embolism is a frequent condition in emergency medicine and potentially fatal. Cause of death is right ventricular failure due to increased right ventricular afterload from both pulmonary vascular obstruction and vasoconstriction ...

Right Ventricular Function

Japanese Circulation Journal, 1974
A review was made of 69 cases manifesting congestive right-side heart failure among 1, 910 cases who had undergone cardiac catheterization at the Department of Pediatrics, Tenri Hospital. Hemodynamic and angiographic studies were made in 32 cases which had undergone corrective surgery of tetralogy of Fallot at ages between l to 14 more than 2 years ...

Impact of Right Ventricular Trabeculation on Right Ventricular Function in Patients With Left Ventricular Non-compaction Phenotype

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Right ventricular (RV) involvement in left ventricular (LV) non-compaction (LVNC) remains unknown. We aimed to describe the RV volumetric, functional, and strain characteristics and clinical features of patients with LVNC phenotype and good LV ejection ...
