Researchers in China report that a simple heart ultrasound measure of left ventricular underfilling is a valuable prognostic ...

The parameter could potentially help clinicians zero in on the cause of left ventricular hypertrophy. Left atrial (LA) strain, as part of a complete echocardiographic workup, may help physicians ...

Panel A shows a cross-section of a normal heart (top) and an endomyocardial biopsy sample from a normal heart (bottom; with hematoxylin and eosin staining) that shows normal histologic characteristics ...

Whether revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can improve event-free survival and left ventricular function in patients with severe ischemic left ventricular systolic ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of another heart ...

Ventricular resection can significantly improve your life span if you have severe heart failure due to an enlarged left ventricle. If you have an enlarged heart (also known as cardiomegaly), it means ...

The patients were suffering from persistent ventricular premature contractions (VPCs), presenting as ventricular bigeminy — a condition in which nearly every alternate heartbeat is abnormal.

Ventricular resection is a type of open-heart surgery to reshape and resize the heart. The surgery may help to improve survival in people with heart failure. Ventricular resection is a surgical ...
