BACKGROUND: Right ventricular failure drives both morbidity and mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), but the mechanism of transition from compensated right ventricle (cRV) to ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

Severe hypothyroidism is associated with a high burden of systolic/diastolic ventricular dysfunction and myocardial deformation abnormalities.

Left ventricular remodeling is a key determinant of the clinical course and outcome of systolic heart failure. The myocardial renin–angiotensin system (RAS) has been closely linked to the major ...
