Cardiac physiologic pacing, also known as cardiac resynchronization therapy, is indicated in patients with heart failure, reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 50% or less, and either a ...

LVNC is a structural heart problem that develops before birth. Later in life, it can cause symptoms like shortness of breath, irregular heart rhythms, and chest pain. Treatments include medications ...

Ventricular resection is a type of open-heart surgery to reshape and resize the heart. The surgery may help to improve survival in people with heart failure. Ventricular resection is a surgical ...

A study led by scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) provides new insights into ventricular fibrillation (VF), the most dangerous type of cardiac ...

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a type of heart failure that affects the left side of the heart. It occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, called the left ventricle ...

Ventricular resection can significantly improve your life span if you have severe heart failure due to an enlarged left ventricle. If you have an enlarged heart (also known as cardiomegaly), it means ...

Cardiovascular diseases, the leading global cause of mortality, are frequently driven by hypertension, which contributes to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and heart failure. Although ejection ...

A new study looked at whether heart scan results can help predict serious cardiovascular or cerebrovascular (brain) events (MACCE) in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and found a ...
