A new editorial published in Comprehensive Physiology underscores the critical importance of understanding heart-lung ...

Singh, M., Bonnemain, J., Ozturk, C. et al. Robotic right ventricle is a biohybrid platform that simulates right ventricular function in (patho)physiological conditions and intervention.

The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, where the blood releases waste gases and picks up oxygen. The newly oxygen-rich blood (shown in red) returns to the heart and enters the left atrium.

Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) In this dextrocardia type, the aorta connects to the right ventricle instead of the left ventricle. The right ventricle is the part of the heart that pumps ...

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 ...

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 ...

During embryonic development, the right ventricle is formed from the secondary heart field into a crescent-shaped, thin-walled structure. 6 It is the most anterior heart chamber, sitting just ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study. In 2019, this same hydrogel was shown to be safe in humans ...

Tricuspid atresia means the heart does not have a tricuspid valve, which means blood cannot flow properly between the right atrium and the right ventricle. People with this condition may have too ...

If your heart’s working harder than it has to, you could be at risk for right-side heart failure. Find out what causes it, what the symptoms are, and how to treat it.

Enlargement of one of the heart’s four chambers – the right ventricle – was the best predictor of which patients with severe Covid-19 infections were most likely to die, doctors reported Monday.
