Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) predisposes to cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. The mechanisms of this phenomenon remain cryptic. We hypothesized that heart mitochondria in IUGR-born adult ...

Evidence of right heart dysfunction—especially right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) on two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2-D STE)—is tightly linked to higher mortality among ...

A set of normal values of three-dimensional echocardiographic right ventricular volume and function was first established in a large Chinese population, which was significantly smaller than those ...

LONDON, England—An echocardiographic analysis of patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) treated with transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) shows that the quality-of-life improvements ...

New York, NY - Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of poor outcome, including the development of congestive heart failure (CHF) and death, after MI, according to a study that ...

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction has previously been linked to symptoms and mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH), as well as in other conditions, and RV function plays an important role in ...
