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 ...

These measures include dilatation of right-sided chambers; presence and severity of tricuspid regurgitation, which allows for an estimation of right ventricular systolic pressure; the presence of ...

Diastole and systole refer to when the heart muscles relax and contract. The balance between diastolic and systolic pressure determines a person’s blood pressure. A blood pressure reading ...

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 ...

Cardiac pressure-volume relations enable quantification of intrinsic ventricular diastolic and systolic properties independent of loading conditions. The use of pressure-volume loop analysis in ...

A TTE (Figure 1B and 1C) showed right ventricular enlargement with severe hypokinesia and hypertrophy (estimated right ventricular systolic pressure, 84 mm Hg), right atrial enlargement ...

Right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 65 mm Hg; Preserved ejection fraction of 65%; Chest computer tomography (CT) with intravenous contrast shows bilateral basal hypoventilation, focal ...

In patients with severe aortic stenosis, “chronic pressure overload in the left ventricular chambers can be transmitted through the pulmonary vascular system and result in compensatory right ...
