The arrangement of myocytes within the ventricle is critical for its contractile performance, as
evidenced by significant functional impairment seen in cardiomyopathies associated with …

The right ventricle (RV) is composed of a free wall containing a wrap-around circumferential
muscle at its base and a septum composed of helical fibers that are oblique and cross each …

Structure and function in any organ are inseparable categories, both in health and disease.
Whether we are ready to accept, or not, many questions in cardiovascular medicine are still …

Whether a chamber is or is not a ventricle is determined by its myocardial morphological
characteristics, not by the entering atrioventricular (AV) valves. The anatomic characteristics …

Right ventricular (RV) function has proven to be a prognostic factor in heart failure with
