| ventricular diverticulum | A congenital outpouching of the right or left ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| ventricular dysfunction | A condition in which the ventricles of the heart exhibit a decreased functionality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular dysfunction, left | A condition in which the left ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality. This decreased function could lead to congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction, among other cardiovascular diseases. Diagnostic measurements that indicate this condition include a diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular dysfunction, right | A condition in which the right ventricle of the heart exhibits a decreased functionality. This decreased function could lead to congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction, among other cardiovascular diseases. Diagnostic measurements that indicate this condition include a diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the right ventricular wall. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular extrasystole | A premature contraction of the ventricle. Synonym: infranodal extrasystole. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular fibrillation | <cardiology> A disorganised chaotic contraction of the ventricle that fails to effectively eject blood from the ventricle. During ventricular fibrillation the patient is unconscious and will die if emergency intervention is not undertaken (defibrillation). (12 Jan 1998) |
| ventricular filling pressure | The pressure in the ventricle as it fills with blood, ordinarily equivalent to the mean atrial pressure when there is no A-V valvular gradient. Atrial pressure can be used in place of transmural pressure because pericardial pressure usually varies between -2 and +2 mm Hg and hence is negligible. During cardiac tamponade, pericardial and atrial pressures equilibrate so that transmural pressure is zero and the high atrial presures cannot be "filling" pressures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular fluid | The portion of the cerebrospinal fluid that is contained in the ventricles of the brain. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular flutter | A form of rapid ventricular tachycardia in which the electrocardiographic complexes assume a regular undulating pattern without distinct QRS and T waves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular fold | One of the pair of folds of mucous membrane stretching across the laryngeal cavity from the angle of the thyroid cartilage to the arytenoid cartilage; they enclose a space called the rima vestibuli or false glottis. Synonym: plica vestibularis, false vocal cord, plica ventricularis, ventricular band of larynx, ventricular fold. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular function | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the ventricles. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular function, left | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the left ventricle. Its measurement is an important aspect of the clinical evaluation of patients with heart disease to determine the effects of the disease on cardiac performance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular function, right | The haemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ventricular fusion beat | A fusion beat that occurs when the ventricles are activated partly by the descending sinus or A-V junctional impulse and partly by an ectopic ventricular impulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular gradient | The algebraic sum of (i.e., the net electrical difference between) the area enclosed within the QRS complex and that within the T wave in the electrocardiogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
| septum, ventricular | The wall between the two lower chambers (the right and left ventricles) of the heart. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| hypertrophy, left ventricular | Enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is attributed to sustained abnormal pressure or volume loads and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypertrophy, right ventricular | Enlargement of the right ventricle of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is often attributed to pulmonary hypertension and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| defect, ventricular septal | Hole in the interventricular septum, the wall between the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). Commonly called a VSD. VSDs are a common class of heart deformity present at birth (congenital cardiac malformation). (17 Dec 1998) |
| inferior ventricular vein | Vein draining the deep white matter of the superior and lateral portions of the temporal lobe; it begins in the body of the lateral ventricle and exits from the choroid fissure of the inferior horn where it joins the basal vein. Synonym: inferior ventricular vein. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia, ventricular | An abnormal heart rhythm that is rapid, regular and originates from an area of the ventricle, the lower chamber of the heart. Ventricular tachycardias are life threatening arrhythmias most commonly associated with heart attacks or scarring of the heart muscle from previous heart attack. (12 Dec 1998) |
| escape ventricular contraction | An escape beat arising in the ventricle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fibrillation, ventricular | An abnormal irregular heart rhythm whereby there are very rapid uncoordinated fluttering contractions of the lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. Venticular fibrillation disrupts the synchrony between the heartbeat and the pulse beat. Ventricular fibrillation is commonly associated with heart attacks or scarring of the heart muscle from previous heart attack. Ventricular fibrillation is life threatening. (12 Dec 1998) |
| left-ventricular assist device | Mechanical pump inserted at some point in the circulation to parallel the activity of the left ventricle and thereby reduce its load. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left ventricular ejection time | The time measured clinically from onset to incisural notch of the carotid or other pulse; properly the time of ejection of blood from the left ventricle beginning with aortic valve opening and ending with aortic valve closure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left ventricular failure | <cardiology> A disorder where the left side of the heart fails to pump blood effectively. This results in a back flow (and pressure) and congestion of blood into the lungs. The causes of this condition include, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, anaemia, hyperthyroidism, atrial myxoma, drug toxicity and congenital heart disease. Risk factors include diabetes, alcoholism, obesity and smoking. Symptoms include increasing shortness of breath with activity and while lying flat. Other symptoms include cough, palpitations, fatigue, decreased urine production and waking in the middle of the nigh with difficulty breathing. Complications include pulmonary oedema, arrhythmias and pleural effusion. (27 Sep 1997) |
| left ventricular hypertrophy | <radiology> Coarctation, aortic stenosis (12 Dec 1998) |
| left ventricular myomectomy | Resection of myocardial tissue used in cases of idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| left ventricular volume overload | <radiology> VSD, patent ductus arteriosus, mitral incompetence, aortic incompetence (12 Dec 1998) |
