In a study of more than 8000 consecutive ambulatory and hospitalized patients with a broad spectrum of cardiopulmonary disease who underwent right heart catheterization in a Boston hospital, obesity ...

Modulating miR-21 signaling may work to reduce heart damage in people with pulmonary hypertension (PH), a preclinical study suggests.

Right-sided heart failure is often caused by pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale) in which the enlargement or failure of the right ventricle leads to circulatory congestion in the lungs as well as ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study published March 6 in Journal of the American College of ...

Researchers discovered why ventricular assist devices (VADs) used to support the left ventricle of cardiogenic shock patients can induce right ventricle dysfunction. They also developed a test that ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

We read with great interest the research letter by Niemiec et al 1 on the use of sacubitril / valsartan in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) due to heart failure with preserved ejection ...
