Cardiovascular Research turns the spotlight onto the right ventricle

This month's issue of Cardiovascular Research is dedicated to the right ventricle. As introduced by the guest editors, this has long been considered the 'lesser' ventricle. A PubMed search for 'left ventricle' (LV) shows 25 217 publications since 2010, whereas a search for 'right ventricle' (RV) results in 21 684 publications in the same time period. However, most documents include both terms, so if we compare the publications that exclusively cover the 'left ventricle' we get 6 270 documents, and in contrast there are only 2 737 publications specifically on the 'right ventricle'.
