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 ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study published in JACC: Basic to Translational Science.

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

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 ...

Q. I have a leaky heart valve that may need surgery down the road. Can you tell me about heart-valve surgery in one of your columns? A. First, let’s explain briefly how the heart works.

When people talk about having a " broken heart," they're more often than not referring to it in the metaphorical sense. However, for some, a broken heart is a very literal, physical condition.

The left-hand side pumps oxygenated blood around the body. Each side of the heart consists of an atrium and a ventricle which are two connected chambers. The atria (plural of atrium) are where the ...

A groundbreaking study in Nature Cardiovascular Research uncovers promising drug targets for heart failure (HF) and its subtypes, offering new hope for precision medicine in cardiology. A recent study ...

Dextrocardia, levocardia, or mesocardia was seen together with right pulmonary isomerism and complex structural heart defects in the single ventricle spectrum. A dominant chamber of left ...
