The left ventricle undergoes biomechanical and gene expression changes in response to increased right ventricular pressure overload
Abstract Pulmonary hypertension (PH) results in right ventricular (RV) pressure overload and eventual failure. Current research efforts have focused on the RV while overlooking the left ventricle (LV), which is responsible for mechanically assisting the RV during contraction. The objective of this s...
