Ventricular hypertrophy (VH) is thickening of the walls of a ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more common, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), as well as concurrent hypertrophy of both ventricles can also occur. Ventricular hypertrophy can result from a variety of conditions, both adaptive and maladaptive. For example, it occurs in what is regarded as a physiologic, adaptive process in pregnancy in response to increased blood volume; but can also occur as a consequence of ventricular remodeling following a heart attack.
In cardiology, ventricular remodeling (or cardiac remodeling) refers to changes in the size, shape, structure, and function of the heart. This can happen as a result of exercise (physiological remodeling) or after injury to the heart muscle (pathological remodeling). The injury is typically due to acute myocardial infarction (usually transmural or ST segment elevation infarction), but may be from a number of causes that result in increased pressure or volume, causing pressure overload or volume overload (forms of strain) on the heart.
vignette|Réanimation cœur-poumon sur un mannequin, durant des entraînements. L'arrêt cardiorespiratoire (ACR) est l'arrêt de la circulation du sang et de la respiration chez un individu. Actuellement, le terme utilisé est plutôt arrêt cardiaque ou arrêt circulatoire. L'arrêt cardiaque a un pronostic catastrophique mais l'amélioration de celui-ci est principalement dépendant de la mise en place d'une chaîne de soins adaptés (appel des secours via par exemple le 15, le 112 ou le 911) et surtout de la réalisation immédiate par les premiers témoins d'une réanimation adaptée par compressions thoraciques (massage cardiaque) et de la mise en place d'un défibrillateur automatique externe (DAE).
Accurate reconstruction of the right heart geometry and motion from time-resolved medical images is crucial for diagnostic enhancement and computational analysis of cardiac blood dynamics. Commonly used segmentation and/or reconstruction techniques, exclus ...
The sensing of left ventricular (LV) activity is fundamental in the diagnosis and monitoring of cardiovascular health in high-risk patients after cardiac surgery to achieve better short- and long-term outcome. Conventional approaches rely on noninvasive me ...
Impaired cardiac function has been described as a frequent complication of COVID-19-related pneumonia. To investigate possible underlying mechanisms, we represented the cardiovascular system by means of a lumped-parameter 0D mathematical model. The model w ...
