X-ray study showed enlargement of the right ventricle and left atrium. On clinical grounds she was thought to have significant mitral regurgitation as well as stenosis.

Left atrium; Right ventricle; Left ventricle; The atria and ventricles work together, contracting and relaxing to pump blood out of the heart. As blood leaves each chamber of the heart, ...

The tricuspid valve sits between the heart's right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid valve sits between the left atrium and left ventricle. Learn more.

The left atrium and ventricle can adapt quite well to primary chronic mitral regurgitation, and symptoms may be delayed for years. With acute mitral regurgitation, ...

Ventricular septal defect is a hole in the wall between the right and left ventricles of the heart. ... the oxygenated blood returns to the left side of the heart, to the left atrium.

Double inlet left ventricle (DILV) is a very rare condition in which the heart chambers and valves are malformed. It occurs in about 5-10 of every 100 000 babies born alive.

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Heart sounds are the noises made as blood moves through the heart with each heartbeat. When the heart valves close, they make a distinct lubb-dupp sound.

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is non-compliant and not able to accept blood return in a normal fashion from the left atrium. This can be a normal physiologic ...

The blood is collected in the right atrium, from where it goes to the right ventricle and gets pumped to the pulmonary artery, which carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs”, said Dr Aditya.

The left atrium and left ventricle work together to receive the now-oxygen-rich blood exiting the lungs and to send it off to the tissues of the body. When someone has atrial fibrillation, ...
