Ventricular function refers to the ability of the ventricles, the lower chambers of the heart, to effectively pump blood to the rest of the body. Research in this area focuses on understanding how the ventricles contract and relax, how they interact with other parts of the heart, and how various diseases or conditions can impact ventricular function. This research is important for diagnosing and treating heart conditions such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and other cardiovascular disorders. Techniques used in this research may include echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and invasive procedures such as cardiac catheterization. Overall, studying ventricular function provides valuable insights into the overall health and functioning of the heart.
