Then, as the ventricle relaxed, the pump forced air back into the outer tube, increasing the pressure on the inner passage and forcing the blood through the aorta to the body.
In children with this defect, the left side of the heart, including its main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, and the aorta, is seriously underdeveloped.
Of its two heavy-duty pumping chambers, the right ventricle was strong and driving blood efficiently to the lungs; it was the left ventricle, which propels oxygenated blood to the .
Jiri Fischer in National Post I went into ventricle fibrillation, which essentially means the whole heart starts beating so fast, it starts to vibrate and doesn't pump the blood properly and I fell unconscious, probably due to lack of oxygen to my brain,Fischer said....
Frank Melton in WLBT-TV Melton says, "The problem is in my left ventricle; my left is not operating at 100 percent. It's operating at 15 percent, and they're treating that with medication, and I think everything will be fine over time."
