Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) predisposes to cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. The mechanisms of this phenomenon remain cryptic. We hypothesized that heart mitochondria in IUGR-born adult ...

Evidence of right heart dysfunction—especially right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) on two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (2-D STE)—is tightly linked to higher mortality among ...

A set of normal values of three-dimensional echocardiographic right ventricular volume and function was first established in a large Chinese population, which was significantly smaller than those ...

New York, NY - Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is an important predictor of poor outcome, including the development of congestive heart failure (CHF) and death, after MI, according to a study that ...
