We seek to understand what genes are responsible for making the heart chamber form in the right way.
This structural change in the heart chamber is one step along the way to the ventricle getting bigger and stiffer.
The chest pain in some patients can also be evoked by electrical stimulation of the lower right heart chamber, which should have little effect on blood flow.
A deflated balloon was fed up a vein, into one heart chamber and then, through that tiny, yet crucial valve, into the other.
Here, we developed a next-generation in vitro biomimetic model of pumping human heart chamber, and demonstrated its capability for pharmaceutical testing.
The heart tube itself is composed of different types of cardiomyocytes that form an anterior aorta and a posterior heart chamber, inflow tracts and intracardiac valves.
This paper presents a geometric approach to modeling the catheter heart interaction for VR simulations of catheter navigation within a heart chamber.
This procedure makes it possible to measure pressure and oxygen saturation in the right heart chamber itself and thus to diagnose abnormalities in the valves.
During a bout of afib, the usually rhythmic contractions of the heart muscle's upper chambers (the atria) are replaced by an ineffectual quiver that does not completely move blood out of the heart chamber.
Nietzsche said that if a human being put his ear to the heart chamber of the world and heard the roar of existence, the "innumerable shouts of pleasure and woe," he would surely break into pieces.
A large proportion of life involves our refusing to put our ear to the mundane heart chamber, lest we die from hearing "the roar which lies on the other side of silence".
