Left ventricular hypertrophy is caused when the heart has to work harder to pump blood to the body. There's no cure, but treatment can help.

The left ventricle is one of four chambers of the heart. It is located in the bottom left portion of the heart below the left atrium, separated by the mitral valve.

Left atrial enlargement has links to several conditions, including atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Learn more about causes and treatment.

Ventricular Septal Defect Overview Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles of the heart. This abnormality usually develops before birth and is found ...

Pathophysiology of Right Ventricular Failure The main determinants of right ventricular function, like those of left ventricular function, are preload, afterload, contractility, and lusitropy.

A single ventricle defect is a congenital heart condition where the heart is not able to properly deliver oxygen to the bloodstream. It often requires surgery or a heart transplant to fix.

The human cardioid platform recapitulates the development of all major embryonic heart compartments, including right and left ventricles, atria, outflow tract, and atrioventricular canal.

In particular, they have created a soft robotic left ventricle (LV) simulator that can mimic the actions of a real heart.

Improved heart function with sacubitril/valsartan was linked to enhanced ventricular-arterial coupling and cardiac efficiency ...

Double inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a very rare condition in which the heart chambers and valves are malformed. It occurs in about 5-10 of every 100 000 babies born alive.

Right ventricular hypertrophy is the thickening of the walls in the right ventricle of the heart. The condition can increase the risk of heart failure in some people. This MNT Knowledge Center ...

It goes into the left atrium, through the bicuspid valve and into the left ventricle. The ventricle pumps the blood through the semilunar valve, into the aorta and round the body.
