A new configuration for right ventricular assist with skeletal muscle ventricle. Short-term studies.
BACKGROUND Previous attempts to provide right heart assistance with skeletal muscle ventricles (SMVs) have been frustrated by the low preload supplied by the systemic venous blood pressure. In the present study, right ventricular pressure was exploited to provide more optimal preload, the SMV being connected by valved conduits between right ventricular free wall and the main pulmonary artery. ...
متن کاملExtraction Protocols for Individual Zebrafish's Ventricle Myosin and Skeletal Muscle Actin for In vitro Motility Assays
The in vitro motility assay (IVMA) is a technique that enables the measurement of the interaction between actin and myosin providing a relatively simple model to understand the mechanical muscle function. For actin-myosin IVMA, myosin is immobilized in a measurement chamber, where it converts chemical energy provided by ATP hydrolysis into mechanical energy. The result is the movement of fluore...
متن کاملTwo-chambered right ventricle: simulating two-chambered left ventricle.
Two cases are described of a most unusual variant of two-chambered right ventricle. In both the ventricular septal defect was between the distal chamber of the right ventricle and the left ventricle. However the extensive dividing 'septum' between proximal and distal parts of the right ventricle converted the latter, haemodynamically, into part of the left ventricle. In the first case the dista...
متن کاملLeft Ventricle: Role of the Pericardium and the Right Ventricle
IN CHRONIC CARDIAC DISEASE, the left ventricular diastolic pressure does not provide a reliable guide to the diastolic left ventricular volume,' and measurement of chamber volume, shape and wall thickness are necessary to identify changes in the myocardial stress-strain relation.' Under acute conditions, the stiffness of the left ventricular chamber progressively increases as passive diastolic ...
متن کاملInterval and Continuous Exercise Training Produce Similar Increases in Skeletal Muscle and Left Ventricle Microvascular Density in Rats
Interval training (IT), consisting of alternated periods of high and low intensity exercise, has been proposed as a strategy to induce more marked biological adaptations than continuous exercise training (CT). The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of IT and CT with equivalent total energy expenditure on capillary skeletal and cardiac muscles in rats. Wistar rats ran on a treadmill...
