he heart has, basically, two large pumping chambers. One is the right ventricle which pumps blood into the lungs where the blood gets rid of carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen, and then the blood ...

Atrioventricular interval modulation is being studied for patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Could the new technology ...

Pressure–volume loop technology with a high-fidelity conductance catheter, the standard for assessing right ventricular intrinsic myocardial function and right ventricular–pulmonary vascular ...

AbstractThe importance of the right ventricle (RV) in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has been gaining increased recognition. This has included a reconceptualization of the RV as part of an ...

Cardiac pressure-volume relations enable quantification of intrinsic ventricular diastolic and systolic properties independent of loading conditions.

Dr. Kevin Heaton: This is a 69-year-old man with a complex history of premature coronary disease, systolic heart failure, cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia that led to ICD placement ...

The cardiac catheterization revealed a mean right atrial pressure of 5 mm Hg (normal, 2-6); a right ventricular systolic pressure of 40 mm Hg (normal, 15-30); a mean pulmonary artery pressure of ...

A person’s blood pressure is measured by the balance between diastolic and systolic pressure in the heart. Learn more about the differences here.

This identifies signs of right ventricular overload with an elevated right ventricular systolic pressure (RSVP) of 90 mm Hg. Figure.

Explore the blood pressure chart and learn to interpret systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. Understand the significance of blood pressure numbers and gain insights into normal blood ...

Right ventricular dysfunction during coronary artery occlusion: pressure-volume analysis using conductance catheters during coronary angioplasty. Heart 1997;78:480–487. 17. Bishop A, White P, ...
