Cardiovascular Therapeutics, 2016 BACKGROUND Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) may complicate an episode of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), potentially leading to cardiogenic shock. Beta-blockers are considered the most suitable treatment for such complication.

Early postoperative interventional ASD-closure for severe atrial right to left shunt in a neonate with common arterial trunk [PDF]
, 2013 Although closure of an atrial septal defect (ASD II) with an occluding device in the first year of life is not a routine procedure, it is a feasible treatment, even in neonates.

A rule-based method to model myocardial fiber orientation in cardiac biventricular geometries with outflow tracts [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Rule-based methods are often used for assigning fiber orientation to cardiac anatomical models. However, existing methods have been developed using data mostly from the left ventricle. As a consequence, fiber information obtained from rule-based methods often does not match histological data in other areas of the heart such as the right ventricle ...

A Novel Mathematical/Numerical Formula for Assessing Right Ventricular Torsion Using Echocardiographic Imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Recently, the ventricular torsional parameters have received special attention because of their significant role in the ventricular systolic and diastolic function. Right ventricular (RV) rotational deformation is a sensitive index for RV performance but difficult to measure.

Comorbid CAD and Ventricular Hypertrophy Compromise The Perfusion of Myocardial Tissue at Subcritical Stenosis of Epicardial Coronaries [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Most studies of CAD revascularization have been based on and reported according to angiographic criteria which don't consider the relation between the resulting effective flow distal to the stenosis and the demand of a hypertrophied myocardial tissue.

Systolic ejection murmurs and the left ventricular outflow tract in boxer dogs [PDF]
, 2007 Turbulence of various genesis in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) causes systolic ejection murmurs. The prevalence of murmurs in adult boxer dogs is 50-80%, the majority of which are of low intensity.

Ventricular torsional relation to ventricular fiber arrangement [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Left ventricular torsion from helically oriented myofibers is a key parameter of cardiac performance. Physicians observing heart motion on echocardiograms, during cardiac catheterization, or in the operating room, are impressed by the twisting or rotary motion of the left ventricle during systole.
