Right ventricular remodeling

Ventricular remodeling in right ventricular apical pacing.

OBJECTIVE To determine ventricular remodeling (VR) and the role of clinical and functional variables in patients with normal cardiac function who underwent right ventricular apical pacing (RVAP). METHODS Among the 268 consecutive patients with standard pacemaker due to complete atrioventricular block (CAVB), those with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 55% and left ventricular end-d...

Inter-stage right ventricular remodeling in hypoplastic left heart syndrome

Methods A retrospective analysis of the serial MRI scans of all patients with HLHS who had undergone palliation through to completion of Fontan was undertaken. Re-analysis was undertaken by two members of the research team who had previously shown good intrauser variability. Ethical and institutional approval was obtained. All scans had been performed with general anaesthesia on a Philips 1.5 T...

Biventricular Remodeling in Murine Models of Right Ventricular Pressure Overload

UNLABELLED Right ventricular (RV) failure is a major cause of mortality in acute or chronic lung disease and left heart failure. The objective of this study was to demonstrate a percutaneous approach to study biventricular hemodynamics in murine models of primary and secondary RV pressure overload (RVPO) and further explore biventricular expression of two key proteins that regulate cardiac remo...
