Yale Cardiovascular Medicine Grand Rounds "Ventricular Fraternal Twins- Appreciating the Differences in RV and LV Embryologic Development and Ventricular Physiology for Guiding the Management of the Cardiac Patient"
Learning Objectives:
- Summarize differences in receptor density and capillary density between the RV and LV and describe how these differences impact RV and LV function.
- Explain the mechanisms behind RV contraction and the impact of septal dysfunction on RV contraction.
- Integrate the differences in RV and LV receptor density and structural physiology to guide optimal RV management in cardiac patients.
