Babies born with otherwise-lethal single ventricle heart defects can gain decades of life from early surgical intervention, but their lives are still fraught with medical complications that ...

Blood flows through the right atrium into the right ventricle. The right ventricle pumps the blood to the lungs, where the blood releases waste gases and picks up oxygen. The newly oxygen-rich ...

In particular, they have created a soft robotic left ventricle (LV) simulator that can mimic the actions of a real heart.

Mitral valve disease is a condition that affects the mitral valve, causing blood to leak backward or flow too slowly, and can ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood flows retrograde (backwards) across the aortic valve from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. This abnormal backflow of blood leads to patholo ...

The fourth heart sound (S4), also known as the “atrial gallop,” occurs just before S1 when the atria contract to force blood into the left ventricle. If the left ventricle is noncompliant ...
