Heart Diseases, Left Ventricular Dysfunction
InterventiOn of Biventricular Pacemaker Function on ventrIcular Function Among Patients With LVAD's
The primary reason the investigators are doing this study are to understand how the right side of the heart functions in heart failure patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs, or "mechanical hearts").

Congestive Heart Failure
Natriuretic Peptide System as Therapy in Human Preclinical Left Ventricle Dysfunction
In congestive heart failure, cardiac output is low, blood pressure is high, and the body becomes congested with fluid. In normal people, when there is high blood pressure, the heart muscle cells secrete a hormone that excretes…

Mitral Regurgitation
Molecular Mechanisms of Volume Overload-Aim 1(SCCOR in Cardiac Dysfunction and Disease)
The investigators hypothesize that beta-1 receptor blockade (ß1-RB) attenuates extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and progressive adverse Left Ventricular (LV) remodeling and failure in the volume overload of mitral…
