Though learning that your child has a heart defect like a ventricular septal defect can be frightening, understanding the ...

"We were created to need each other. We always say, 'You are needed, and you need people,'" Zach Thompson said.

The following is a summary of "Periventricular gliomas. Evaluation of the risks associated with ventricular opening in two ...

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative ...

Heightened interest in left ventricular thrombus (LVT) stems from the consistent association of subsequent stroke and systemic embolism after LVT, and many aspects of its management still exist in a ...

The burgeoning evidence of patients diagnosed with sigmoidal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) later in life has revived the quest for distinctive features that may help discriminate it from more ...

To be distinguished from aneurysm of an aortic sinus (Valsalva) is the rare condition in which an abnormal channel begins in the ascending aorta (above the right coronary artery), bypasses the aortic ...

Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart beat (with three or more consecutive heart beats at least 100 beats per minute) that originates from one of the ventricles in the heart.

Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in ...

Intraventricular haemorrhage and posthaemorrhagic ventricular dilatation remain an important challenge in the management of prematurity and are associated with significant permanent morbidity.

Relatively precise criteria are proposed for the recognition of ventricular fusion beats. Apart from the obvious and widely accepted criteria involving contour, duration, and time of appearance, other ...
