| | Single Ventricle Anomalies, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center |
 | | Whatever is needed in the newborn period, the aim is typically to balance the blood flow between the lungs and the body, achieving stable oxygen levels and adequate heart function. | | | Lastly, leaky or tight valves may adversely affect the function of the ventricle or the flow of blood to the lungs. | | | Second, it removes some of the work of pumping blood to the lungs from the single ventricle so that the ventricle will no longer have to pump all of the blood to the lungs in adduition to all of the blood to the body, which places it at risk for early heart failure. |

| | Pulmonary arterial pressure is important, since the choice of operative therapy is largely dictated by the presence of pulmonic stenosis and its severity. | | | Medical management is largely restricted to the management of congestive cardiac failure in cases with unrestricted pulmonary blood flow, or to the use of PGE1 in neonates with severely restricted pulmonary blood flow or with pulmonic atresia. | | | Conversion to a Fontan operation completes the single-ventricle pathway in cases with unrestricted pulmonary blood flow. |

| | Ventricle and a half |
| | The systemic ventricle is vented with a cannula placed in the right superior pulmonary vein. | | | The ventricle-and-a-half repair can be considered the last stage of the functional single ventricle pathway, in that the systemic and pulmonary circulations are entirely separated, and there is no compelling reason to perform a more traditional Fontan operation. | | | This is because the patient would be considered to be almost entirely dependent on the shunt for pulmonary blood flow, and no significant forward flow is likely to be found via the right ventricle. |

| | Cardiac Cycle and monitoring |
| | After the aortic valves have closed, the ventricle is a closed chamber, because the mitral valve is still closed, and the muscle fibres in its wall are relaxing, so the pressure drops rapidly during this phase of isovolumetric, or isometric, relaxation which lasts for around 80ms. | | | The pressures in the atrium and ventricle are around 5mmHg and rise slightly as blood enters the heart, distending it; as blood is flowing from the atrium to the ventricle, the pressure in the atrium is fractionally higher than in the ventricle. | | | During the phase of isovolumetric relaxation, there is approximately 70ml in each ventricle; the ventricle does not empty itself each beat which is a point we shall return to later in the course. |

| | Transcallosal, interforniceal approaches for lesions affecting the third ventricle: surgical considerations and consequences. | | | Although CPP is one of the neoplasms frequently observed to occur primarily within the ventricular system, it rarely involves the third ventricle; its incidence is 10% or less of all CPPs.5-7 These lesions typically manifest with macrocephaly and signs of raised intracranial pressure. | | | Various approaches have been utilized to approach third ventricular tumors including transcallosal, supracerebellar infratentorial and trans-frontal, transforaminal routes.8-10 We believe that the approach should be individualized based upon the location, anatomy, size, blood supply and extension through the Foramen of Monro. |

| | Without further surgery to separate the systemic and pulmonary circulations, individuals with double inlet left ventricle are subject to the complications of cyanosis and chronic ventricular volume overload, and survival beyond the second decade of life is rare. | | | Examination of ventricular outflow and aortic arch anatomy are critical because of associated anomalies. | | | Palliative procedures in early infancy include pulmonary artery banding to limit pulmonary blood flow in patients without obstruction to pulmonary blood flow, or creation of an aortopulmonary shunt to ensure pulmonary blood flow in individuals with marked pulmonary outflow tract obstruction or pulmonary atresia. |

| | This condition is characterized by a pulmonary valve that does not open sufficiently, causing the right ventricle to pump harder. | | | As the heart muscle contracts and relaxes, the valves open and shut, letting blood flow into the ventricles and atria at alternate times. | | | This condition is usually associated with an atrial septal defect, an opening between the two upper chambers of the heart. |

| | Although treatments for single ventricle (which, as stated earlier in this article, does not include the entity of hypoplastic left heart syndrome) have been refined over the last 30 years, they have not convincingly improved upon the limited palliations offered before 1971. | | | Finally, the family should confront the possibility that cardiac transplantation may eventually be needed, even if the staged approach to achieve a fenestrated Fontan is the initial strategy adopted. | | | In the early 1990s, these complications threatened to preclude the application of Fontan's principle to the vast majority of single ventricle patients. |

| | Ventricle (heart) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In a four-chambered heart, such as that in humans, there are two ventricles: the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation for the lungs, and the left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation for the rest of the body. | | | Pulmonary hypertension, which often leads to hypertrophy of the right ventricle (Ventricular hypertrophy) | | | In the heart, a ventricle is a chamber which collects blood from an atrium (another heart chamber) and pumps it out of the heart. |

| | Aortic Stenosis - CardiologyChannel |
| | When the heart relaxes between contractions, the aortic valve closes, preventing blood in the aorta from returning to the left ventricle. | | | The left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the aorta, which carries it to the brain and the rest of the body. | | | The left ventricle initially compensates for increased resistance caused by aortic stenosis by thickening (i.e., increasing muscle mass) to help eject blood through the stenotic aortic valve into the aorta. |
