Blood flows through the right atrium into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, where the blood releases waste gases and picks up oxygen. The newly oxygen-rich ...

The ventricles pump the blood out of the heart to the lungs or around the body. The septum separates the right-hand and left-hand side of the heart. The tricuspid valve is located between the ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the ...

A ventricular septal defect (VSD) occurs when there is direct communication between the left and right ventricles. This can be a congenital anomaly or acquired as a complication of a myocardial ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy was first reported as the partial replacement of the right ventricular myocardium by fat or fibrous tissue. In 1965, researchers described the ...

Babies born with otherwise-lethal single ventricle heart defects can gain decades of life from early surgical intervention, but their lives are still fraught with medical complications that ...

The ventricles pump the blood out of the heart to the lungs or around the body. The septum separates the right-hand and left-hand side of the heart. The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium ...

This paper defends the thesis that the heart can also develop sports injuries at the ventricular level. We will elaborate on our hypothesis, originally put forward in 2003, that intense endurance ...

Background Regular intensive physical activity is associated with non-pathological changes in cardiac morphology. Differential diagnosis with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) ...
