Volume Load-Induced Right Ventricular Failure in Rats Is Not Associated With Myocardial Fibrosis

Volume Load-Induced Right Ventricular Failure in Rats Is Not Associated With Myocardial Fibrosis

BackgroundRight ventricular (RV) function and failure are key determinants of morbidity and mortality in various cardiovascular diseases. Myocardial fibrosis is regarded as a contributing factor to heart failure, but its importance in RV failure has been challenged. This study aims to assess whether...
