This results in increased afterload on the left ventricle, an increase in systolic ... cells resulting in a decrease in intrinsic heart rate. With fibrosis of the cardiac skeleton there is ...

Over time, repetitive injury may lead to changes that resemble right (or less often) left ventricular (LV) cardiomyopathy ... a disproportionate increase in RV stroke work index relative to that of ...

this means that right ventricular (RV) function predicts survival. Our group is interested in understanding how the right heart fails and identifying therapeutic targets for the RV- a disease in which ...

Septal circumferential strain (Ecc) was significantly decreased in LGE-negative boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) ...

The left and right ventricles each pump the same volume of blood through the aorta and pulmonary artery. The volume of blood pumped through each ventricle per minute can be calculated as cardiac ...

In the late 1960s, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, including Professors Michael Sela and Ruth Arnon and Dr.

The left ventricle is the heart’s main pumping chamber ... testing a drug to repair lungs damaged by idiopathic pulmonary ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a prevalent inherited cardiac disease marked by left ventricular hypertrophy, often due ...

Dr. Thomas's research interests relate to cardiac structure and function. More specifically he has been interested in adaptations made by the heart to both physiological and pathological overload.
