Clinical practice variability among paediatric interventional cardiologists assessing pulmonary arteriovenous malformations Open
Background: Single ventricle pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are poorly understood and variably assessed in published literature. To improve our understanding of single ventricle pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and facilitate m…

Two‐dimensional echocardiographic right heart ratios for assessment of right heart size in dogs: Reference intervals and reproducibility Open
Background Reference intervals for simple body weight‐independent measurements of right heart size and function are limited. Objectives Generate reference intervals for measurements of right heart size indexed to the long‐axis aortic valve…

Right atrial thrombus formation in a dog after successful electrical cardioversion for atrial fibrillation Open
Right atrial masses in dogs are commonly diagnosed as malignant tumors. This report describes a dog with a right atrial mass that appeared after successful electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and resolved with antithrombotic tr…

Brief Report: Case Comparison of Therapy With the Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor Vorinostat in a Neonatal Calf Model of Pulmonary Hypertension Open
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an incurable condition in humans; driven by pulmonary vascular remodeling partially mediated by epigenetic mechanisms; and leading to right ventricular hypertrophy, failure, and death. We hypothesized that ta…

Establishment of adult right ventricle failure in ovine using a graded, animal‐specific pulmonary artery constriction model Open
Background Right ventricle failure (RVF) is associated with serious cardiac and pulmonary diseases that contribute significantly to the morbidity and mortality of patients. Currently, the mechanisms of RVF are not fully understood and it i…

Correlations between the right ventricular passive elasticity and organ function in adult ovine Open
Right ventricle failure (RVF) contributes significantly to the morbidity and mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH).The mechanical behavior of the RV is considered fundamental to its physiological function; however, the link between RV t…
