A new study suggests that physicians might be able to assess the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by analyzing right ...

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 ...

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: ...

In a study of more than 8000 consecutive ambulatory and hospitalized patients with a broad spectrum of cardiopulmonary disease who underwent right heart catheterization in a Boston hospital, obesity ...

Everybody has natural rhythm. Call it your inner drummer--the heartbeat keeps time for the rest of the body. But what happens if your beat's too fast or slow? In medical terms, that's called cardiac ...

Interstitial Decongestion in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure Patients With the eLym System: Percutaneous Device to Support Lymphatic Drainage: The Early Results of the DELTA-HF Feasibility Study ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

"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 ...

If you have ventricular tachycardia, your doctor may give you medicine to slow your heart rate down. You might also need a catheter ablation. In this procedure, a doctor threads a thin tube through an ...
