Cardiac ventriculography
ID: cardiac-ventriculography
Cardiac ventriculography is a medical imaging procedure used to assess the function of the ventricles of the heart, usually the left ventricle. It is often performed to evaluate heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or other heart abnormalities. During the procedure, a contrast agent is injected into the bloodstream, typically through a catheter placed in a blood vessel. This contrast agent enhances the visibility of the heart chambers on X-ray images.
