Likewise, displaced papillary muscles contacting the septum and elongated ... It is usually caused by the mid-systolic contact of prominent right ventricular muscle bundles located in the right ...

However, pulmonary haemodynamics correlate poorly with patient symptoms, which are influenced by right ventricular tolerance of the increased afterload. How best to manage symptomatic patients with ...

From strain gauge arches applied directly to the longitudinal surface of the papillary muscle of the canine left ventricle, its force of contraction was recorded simultaneously with that on an ...

1 The papillary muscles, as integral parts of the mitral apparatus, are extremely vulnerable to ischemic injury because of the great mechanical stress to which they are subjected ...

the distance between the tricuspid annular plane and the right ventricular apex (useful in some coaptation systems), the number and position of chordae tendinae and papillary muscles (planning of ...

A Purkinje origin was demonstrated in 23/27 (93%) patients. This was located in the left ventricular septum in 10 patients, in the anterior right ventricle in 9 patients, and in both ventricles in 4 ...
