Abstract The heart consists of four chambers: two atrias and two ventricles. The right ventricle is a low-pressure system which pumps the blood incoming from the body and into the lungs. The left ventricle is a high-pressure system that pumps oxygenated blood from the lungs and into the body.

Assessment of right ventricular function
Heart, 2008The right ventricle has traditionally received less consideration than the left ventricle. In recent years this interest has increased with the recognition of the critical role of right ventricular performance in determining the clinical outcome and decision-making in patients with both clinical heart failure and congenital heart disease. In this issue

Assessment of Left-Ventricular Function
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1998There are three distinct phases of the cardiac cycle (contraction, active relaxation, and passive relaxation) which should be examined in order to perform a thorough assessment of global left-ventricular function. Accurate measurements of left-ventricular pressure and volume are necessary to assess these phases of the cardiac cycle.

[Ventricular function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Systolic and diastolic ventricular function].
Fortschritte der Medizin, 1992BASIC CONSIDERATION: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is defined as a primary myocardial disease associated with a hypertrophic non-dilated left ventricle with no other heart or systemic disease that might lead to hypertrophy of the left ventricle. The leading symptoms are effort-associated angina and dyspnea, rapid fatigue, dizziness and syncope.The ...

[Evaluation of ventricular function in the fetus].
Giornale italiano di cardiologia (2006), 2009Congenital heart disease is the most frequent neonatal malformation, with an estimated prevalence between 0.8% and 1%. Echocardiography is an important tool for diagnosis and follow-up in cardiology, because it is easy to use, inexpensive, and noninvasive.

Evaluation of Right Ventricular Function
Current Cardiology Reports, 2011Right ventricular (RV) function is a powerful prognostic factor in congestive heart failure and pulmonary hypertension, but assessing RV function is a challenge because of the right ventricle's complex geometry, its extreme sensitivity to loading conditions, and a limited understanding of underlying mechanisms of right heart failure.

Assessment of ventricular function with an ambulatory left ventricular function monitor.
Circulation, 1991Changes in ventricular function caused by activities of daily living, including standing, walking, stair climbing, and mental stress, were evaluated using a radionuclide device that recorded left ventricular function on a beat-by-beat basis. The ambulatory monitor was positioned over the patient's left ventricle after a gated blood pool scan ...
