UCLA-led research finds that among adult congenital heart disease (CHD) transplant recipients, single-ventricle physiology correlated with higher short-term mortality. But 10-year conditional survival ...

While the Fontan procedure has improved the short- and mid-term outcomes for patients born with single ventricle anatomy, long-term complications of Fontan circulation include heart failure. These ...

Background Ebstein’s anomaly (EA) exhibits significant anatomical and clinical heterogeneity, warranting a systematic ...

No parent wants to find out that their child has a heart condition, but fortunately, children with ventricle defects can be helped with many different types of research-backed treatments and ...

Term newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) show delayed brain development as early as the third trimester, especially in single-ventricle physiology (SVP). Mechanisms causing delayed brain ...

Your heart is responsible for pumping blood and oxygen throughout your body. The heart performs this function by expanding and contracting. This movement is what produces your heartbeat. Your ...

The distinctive histopathological feature of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is the loss of right ventricular myocardium and the substitution of fibrous and fatty tissue. Panel ...

Lizards and turtles are not warm and cuddly, but they do have hearts — and interesting ones, at that. One molecular difference in reptile hearts may have divided single ventricles into two, creating ...

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 ...
