Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a significant complication of cirrhosis, but its progression and underlying mechanisms ...
ABSTRACT: Blood pump is a vital therapy for heart failure. Acting as the core device, it partially or fully supports the heart’s pumping function, providing crucial support for patients with end-stage ...
Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...
Background: Patients with heart failure frequently develop mechanical dyssynchrony, which impairs ventricular function, coronary perfusion and their interactions. The underlying mechanisms, however, ...
Background: Although there is an interaction between sex, body fat distribution, and cardiac structure and function, these relationships have not been fully elucidated yet. This study aims to reveal ...
Cardiac trabeculae form a network of muscular strands that line the inner surfaces of the heart. Their development depends on multiscale morphogenetic processes and, while highly conserved across ...
A new study by researchers at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, in collaboration with the Keck School of Medicine of USC, the Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI) and UC Irvine, ...
The human heart is a complex organ, and researchers have been developing artificial models to gain a deeper understanding of its workings. Now, a heart simulator that replicates the complicated ...
Prematurely born adults have increased risk for cardiovascular disease. There are limited cardiac data on US‐born preterm individuals. We aimed to determine whether adolescents and adults born ...
A ventricular resection is a type of surgery that removes scar tissue or a tumor from a heart chamber to restore function. Often, a reconstruction or repair procedure follows this. The heart has four ...
