Hospitals with a higher volume of percutaneous microaxial ventricular assist device implantation in the US have fewer deaths among cardiogenic shock patients.

Such techniques can be automatically applied using implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and offer the potential for painless termination of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Reduction in ...

This paper defends the thesis that the heart can also develop sports injuries at the ventricular level. We will elaborate on our hypothesis, originally put forward in 2003, that intense endurance ...
