With tricuspid stenosis, the opening of the tricuspid valve narrows and restricts blood flow to the right ventricle. This can negatively affect blood pressure and blood flow in the heart.

They say the new robotic right ventricle, or RRV, can be used as a realistic platform to study right ventricle disorders and test devices and therapies aimed at treating those disorders.

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 ...

Blood from the right side of the ventricle flows into the conus arteriosus, where a spiral valve through the middle of the conus separates the flow of blood into two channels. The deoxygenated blood ...

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.

Tricuspid regurgitation is a condition that causes a heart valve to leak blood back into the right atrium of the heart. If left untreated, it can cause life threatening complications. Learn more.

Our readers contend that the heart really is quite central after all, and the asymmetry it does have helps to make it a more efficient pump ...

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

Patients with ventricular secondary tricuspid regurgitation have dilatation of the right ventricle (mainly the midventricular free wall), leading to apical displacement of the papillary muscles ...
