Echocardiography showed biventricular hypertrophy, midventricular obstruction with a peak flow velocity of 3.1 m/s in the mid-left ventricle, and paradoxic jet flow, an early diastolic flow from the ...
Excess sodium causes fluid retention, which makes the blood volume increase. This also increases pressure on the arteries and therefore contributes to hypertension, a significant risk factor for ...
Each side of the heart has two chambers, for a total of four chambers. The two ventricles (right and left) are muscular chambers capable of propelling the blood out of the heart. The right ventricle ...
