Ορισμός και Σημασία του "cardiac ventriculography"

What is "cardiac ventriculography"?

Cardiac ventriculography is a medical imaging procedure used to examine the heart's ventricles, which are the lower chambers responsible for pumping blood out of the heart. During this procedure, a special dye is injected into the heart through a thin tube called a catheter. This dye helps to make the ventricles visible on X-ray images, allowing doctors to see how well the heart is functioning and to check for issues such as poor blood flow, heart damage, or structural problems. The images obtained from cardiac ventriculography can help in diagnosing heart conditions and planning appropriate treatments.
