Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are extra heartbeats originating from the heart’s lower chambers, potentially causing palpitations or fluttering sensations. While occasional PVCs are common, ...

LVNC is a structural heart problem that develops before birth. Later in life, it can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, and chest pain. Treatments include medications ...

A collaboration of researchers in Switzerland, Germany, and the US tracked cardiac function in recreational marathon runners ...

Certain heart conditions, including a heart attack, may contribute to an enlarged heart. In these instances, a doctor may recommend left ventricular reconstructive surgery to prevent further ...

Researchers have shown that a gene transfer technique can combat heart dysfunction caused by diabetes. Researchers with the VA San Diego Healthcare System and the University of California San Diego ...

No parent wants to find out that their child has a heart condition, but fortunately, children with ventricle defects can be helped with many different types of research-backed treatments and ...

The interventricular septum separates the heart’s two ventricles and plays a vital role in maintaining correct bloodflow. Sometimes a defect can occur or be present from birth. This can increase the ...

A new study published in the Journal of American Medical Association showed that reduced right ventricular ejection fraction ...

Engineers developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The device could be used for studying right ventricle disorders ...

Phase II ARCHER trial showed a significant reduction in left ventricular (LV) mass (p=0.0117) and improvements in multiple key cardiac MRI (CMR) measures of structural heart recovery in patients with ...
