Right ventricular strain and right ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral are associated with mortality in ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Medtronic’s OmniaSecure defibrillation lead intended for insertion in the right ventricle. This new 4.7 French (1.6mm ...

Placed on a bypass machine, Dr. Patwardhan and his team detached her right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary artery ...

The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. It opens due to a build-up of pressure in the right atrium, and prevents back flow of blood from the right ventricle to the ...

For ventricular tachycardia (VT), catheter ablation ... easy-to-access location such as the traditional outflow tract, they’re easier to ablate. But those that come from hard-to-get-to locations ...

LVOT-G measures the difference in pressure between the heart’s left ventricle and aorta. This reduction in pressure was achieved without a meaningful change in left ventricular ejection fraction ...

Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a type of abnormal heartbeat that originates in the ventricles. They disrupt the regular rhythm and cause the sensation of either a skipped beat or ...

Figure 1. Parasternal long-axis view of right ventricular outflow tract in 2-dimensional (A) and color Doppler (B) echocardiography. A mosaic flow passed through the right ventricular outflow tract, ...

The following is a summary of “Novel Right Ventricular Function Parameters Can Identify Short-Term Non-Responders To Transcatheter Edge-To-Edge Repair For Mitral Regurgitation,” published in the March ...

Background: Intramural site of origin is a major cause of ablation failure of ventricular arrhythmias and the optimal strategy is unclear. This study investigated the efficacy of a stepwise ablation ...

Initial interpretation suggested ischemia, but closer inspection revealed increased right ventricular uptake and increased left ventricular chamber size at stress, indicative of significant 3-vessel ...
