The findings could have an impact on the tests and measurements that physicians rely on to diagnose and treat two heart conditions: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, in which the heart's ability to pump blood decreases as the organ's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged and its muscle thinned.

The researchers performed a «heart block» on 13 pigs by disabling the nerve bundle that conducts electrical impulses between the atria and ventricles.

Though much of the concern in the media regarding the toxic effects of Zika virus has focused on brain findings of microcephaly, the researchers noted that there are a variety of brain abnormalities that can be found in fetuses exposed to the virus, including gray and white matter volume loss, brainstem abnormalities, calcifications, and a condition called ventriculomegaly, where the ventricles, or fluid filled spaces in the brain, are enlarged.

Brain surface points (including ventricle surfaces) are found using the registered brain images to sub-voxel accuracy, and the surface motion estimated on the basis of these points.

Instead of staying right next to one another like they're supposed to, cells from the left and right ventricle might mix at some point early on, possibly causing a crack in the wall between the two chambers of the heart.

Using these techniques, scientists have found progressive changes in the HD brain as time goes on, including shrinkage of specific structures, and the growth of the ventricles as the brain tissue around them degenerates.

As the name suggests, MMVD affects the mitral valve, which is located on the left side of the heart between the atrium and the ventricle.

On the left is a graphic representation of a normal left ventricle and on the right is an enlarged (concentric hypertrophy) left ventricle as noted in hypertrophic cardiomyopathOn the left is a graphic representation of a normal left ventricle and on the right is an enlarged (concentric hypertrophy) left ventricle as noted in hypertrophic cardiomyopathon the right is an enlarged (concentric hypertrophy) left ventricle as noted in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

From the ventricles, blood is pumped out into the lungs through the pulmonary artery (on the right) or out to the body through the aorta (on the left) through a second series of one - way valves (the pulmonic valve on the right and the aortic valve on the left).

While disease of the mitral valve, the valve located on the left side of the heart between the atrium and the ventricle, is the most common form of valvular disease in dogs, disease of the tricuspid valve is also seen.

It is stored there briefly as it is pumped on into the right ventricle.

It then flows from the lungs into the left atrium where it is held briefly before going on to the left ventricle.

On echocardiographic examination we have found eccentric hypertrophy of the left and right ventricles, paradoxical motion of the ventricular septum (fig 7), mitral and tricuspid regurgitation with gradient — 118 mmHg and 42 mmHg respectively.

On echocardiography, right heart pathology was mainly observed — including a distended right atrium and ventricle, dilated pulmonary artery and evidence of pulmonary hypertension, as well as many tubular echoic structures in the lumen of the main pulmonary artery, typically identified as adult parasites.

The heart has four chambers: two chambers at the top, the right and left aorta; and two chambers on the bottom, the right and left ventricles.

In Figure 1 below, we can see that a dog or cat's heart has four chambers — two atria and two ventricles (one of each on each side).

Affected cats may have underlying heart disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in which the heart muscle thickens and the lower heart chambers (ventricles) decrease in size (see handout «Cardiomyopathy in Cats» for further information on this type of heart disease).

Cardiomyopathy is brought about by a structural abnormality in the muscle enclosing one or both ventricles, with the affected chamber taking on a thickened, dilated or scarred appearance.

Medications such as beta - blockers — which slow the patient's heart rate, decrease its need for oxygen and reduce demands on its ventricles — are commonly used for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
