  • The Heart
DEF

One of the two lower chambers of the heart, namely, ventriculus dexter cordis and ventriculus sinister cordis.

CONT

The heart is subdivided by septa into right and left halves, and a constriction subdivides each half of the organ into two cavities, the upper cavity being called the atrium [and] the lower the ventricle. The heart therefore consists of four chambers, [namely] right and left atria, and right and left ventricles.

French

CONT

L'orifice auriculo-ventriculaire est pourvu d'un appareil valvulaire à trois valves, d'où son nom de valvule tricuspide. Ces trois valves sont de même orientation et de même nom que les trois parois ventriculaires. La valve antérieure ou grande valve de la tricuspide, son système de cordages unis au pilier antérieur, forment une cloison à claire-voie qui divise la cavité du ventricule droit en deux chambres : l'une, inférieure et postérieure, est la chambre d'arrivée en communication avec l'oreillette droite; l'autre, supérieure et antérieure, est appelée aussi infundibulum pulmonaire ou cône artériel; c'est la chambre de chasse ou chambre de sortie, en communication avec le tronc de l'arbre pulmonaire par l'intermédiaire de l'orifice pulmonaire.

Domaine(s)

CONT

On donne le nom d'«hypoplasie du cœur gauche» à tout un groupe de malformations caractérisées par une insuffisance de développement de la valve aortique, du ventricule gauche, de la valve mitrale et de l'aorte ascendante. Le degré et le groupement des lésions varient notablement d'un cas à l'autre, si bien que la cardiopathie porte souvent le nom de sa lésion prédominante comme «atrésie aortique» ou «atrésie mitrale». Un dénominateur physiopathologique est commun à tous les cas : le ventricule gauche est incapable d'assurer le débit systémique et c'est le ventricule droit qui le prend en charge et l'assure au travers de l'artère pulmonaire et du canal artériel.
