In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers modeled the right ventricle (RV) to create a robot replicating right ventricular hemodynamics and biomechanics. Study: ...

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with ...

A new study suggests that physicians might be able to assess the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by analyzing right ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

In a study of more than 8000 consecutive ambulatory and hospitalized patients with a broad spectrum of cardiopulmonary disease who underwent right heart catheterization in a Boston hospital, obesity ...

"This study showed that RV function, including RV strain, decreases over time despite preserved LV ejection fraction, and is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. RV function may be more ...

Right ventricular dysfunction, as assessed by TAPSE ≤ 14 mm, is strongly associated with CKD and poor prognosis in outpatients with chronic systolic HF. These data further support the concept that ...

Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are extra heartbeats originating from the heart’s lower chambers, potentially causing palpitations or fluttering sensations. While occasional PVCs are common, ...

Heart disease kills 18 million people each year, but the development of new therapies faces a bottleneck: no physiological model of the entire human heart exists – so far. A new multi-chamber organoid ...
