A team of biomechanical engineers at the University of New South Wales, working with a colleague from Queensland University of Technology and cardiac surgeons at St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, has ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study. In 2019, this same hydrogel was shown to be safe in humans ...

MIT engineers have developed a robotic replica of the heart's right ventricle, which mimics the beating and blood-pumping action of live hearts. The robo-ventricle combines real heart tissue with ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, researchers modeled the right ventricle (RV) to create a robot replicating right ventricular hemodynamics and biomechanics. Study: ...

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 ...

A ventricular resection is a type of surgery that removes scar tissue or a tumor from a heart chamber to restore function. Often, a reconstruction or repair procedure follows this. The heart has four ...

"Mortality Risk Rises 3.5-Fold if the Left Atrium Fails to Recover After Heart Failure Treatment" ...

An injectable hydrogel can mitigate damage to the right ventricle of the heart with chronic pressure overload, according to a new study published in JACC: Basic to Translational Science. The study, by ...
