Medically reviewed by Anisha Shah, MD Ischemia occurs when the heart does not receive adequate blood supply to function ...

MIT engineers developed a robotic replica of the heart’s right ventricle that mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robotic right ventricle (RRV) combines real heart tissue ...

Chronic cases, which may be symptom-free for years, result from valve deterioration, thoracic aortic aneurysm, rheumatic fever, endocarditis, or trauma. This condition can lead to pulmonary edema, ...

Two infants died and five developed long-term cardiac sequelae requiring medication. In all survivors aneurysm formation in the left ventricular wall was found weeks to months later. One patient is ...

It also looks at the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of this common heart condition. The heart has two main pumping chambers: the right ventricle and the left ventricle. The right ventricle sends ...
