The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

[2] [3] [4] It is well-marked in sheep and some other animals, including humans. It extends from the base of the anterior papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve to the ventricular septum. [2]

5. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

   The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.The function of the valve is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole, and to close to prevent backflow (regurgitation) from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular ...

6. Right heart strain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_heart_strain

   Right heart strain (also right ventricular strain or RV strain) is a medical finding of right ventricular dysfunction [1] where the heart muscle of the right ventricle (RV) is deformed. [2] Right heart strain can be caused by pulmonary hypertension, [3] pulmonary embolism (or PE, which itself can cause pulmonary hypertension [4]), RV infarction ...
