Higher blood levels of allergy molecule IgE were associated with worsening right heart function in people with PAH, a study in China found.

According to the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation, patients with heart failure are classified into: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, LVEF ...

Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

Abstract: Accurate segmentation of the ventricles plays a crucial role in determining cardiac functional parameters such as ventricular volume, ventricular mass, and ejection fraction. However, poor ...

Subclinical alterations in left ventricular (LV) structure, diastolic function, and metabolic disturbances are associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) risk, but their relationships remained ...

Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

What is double inlet left ventricle? Double inlet left ventricle is a type of single ventricle congenital heart defect, meaning only one of the heart’s two pumping chambers (called a ventricle) is ...

Routine heart ultrasound measurements of left ventricular (LV) underfilling may significantly improve the prediction of poorer outcomes in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) beyond ...

Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...

Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is widely recognized as the gold standard for the non-invasive ...
