Ventricle in a sentence

Galen assumed that arteries carried the purest blood to higher organs such as the brain and lungs from the left ventricle of the heart, while veins carried blood to the lesser organs such as the stomach from the right ventricle.

One valve lies between each atrium and ventricle, and one valve rests at the exit of each ventricle.

The right coronary artery supplies the right atrium, right ventricle, and lower posterior sections of the left ventricle.

An increased left ventricle is a “strong predictor” for adverse heart events in adulthood and is used as a tool to assess “premature cardiac damage” in children and young adults, they said.

How Well Does the 3D-Printed Ventricle Pump?

She had been diagnosed with hypoplastic right heart syndrome, which meant she had no right ventricle.

Spanning the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, the Going-to-the-Sun Road runs between park entrances in West Glacier and St. Mary and functions as the park’s main ventricle.

The pump has a catheter with a small hook at the end, which is threaded through the blood vessels and in to the left ventricle - a key chamber in the heart used to pump blood full of oxygen around the body.

According to the manufacturer, this stimulation interrupts the tremor in the ventricle intermediate nucleus of the thalmus in the brain.

HFrEF occurs when the left ventricle (LV) muscle is not able to contract adequately and therefore, expels less oxygen-rich blood in to the body.

The most common cardiomyopathy, called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, causes thickening of the heart's left ventricle.

Enlargement of the left ventricle typically results from the heart having to work too hard against, for example, high pressure inside blood vessels, and can result in heart failure.

In humans, excess left ventricle weight is often a sign of a weak heart muscle, which can lead to heart failure.

In this cohort, 49 percent of patients required at least one right ventricle to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduit intervention during the study period, frequently in early childhood.

After their release into the capillaries of the third ventricle, the hypophysiotropic hormones travel through what is known as the hypothalamo-pituitary portal circulation.

A test for brain naturietic peptide can be used to evaluate for the presence of heart failure, and rises when there is increased demand on the left ventricle.

Blood flows nearly continuously back into the atrium, which acts as the receiving chamber, and from here through an opening into the left ventricle.

Cardiac output (CO) is a measurement of the amount of blood pumped by each ventricle (stroke volume) in one minute.

From here, blood flows into the atrium and then to the powerful muscular ventricle where the main pumping action will take place.

Galen believed that the arterial blood was created by venous blood passing from the left ventricle to the right by passing through 'pores' in the interventricular septum, air passed from the lungs via the pulmonary artery to the left side of the heart.
