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

Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or ...

The septum of the heart is a wall of tissue that separates the left and right sides of the heart and enables blood to flow as it should. It consists of the atrial septum and the ventricular septum.

Yogesh N. Reddy, MBBS: Hi. This is Yogesh Reddy, cardiology fellow at Mayo Clinic. Today we will be discussing the very common clinical scenario of a left bundle branch block (LBBB) on ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Medically reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MD Key Takeaways The right atrium collects deoxygenated blood and sends it to the lungs for oxygen.The electrical signal that makes the heart beat starts in ...

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: ...
