Q. Can you explain about Ventriculography?

Cardiac ventriculography is a diagnostic test, i.e., used to define the anatomy and function of the ventricles (left and right) and related structures. Left Ventriculography Left ventriculography is helpful in the assessment of the following parameters:

1) Segmental and global LV function

2) Mitral valve regurgitation

3) Ventricular septal defect-their presence, location and severity

4) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Right Ventriculography

Rarely performed in adults. Useful in assessment of:

1) Segmental and global RV function

2) Assessment of RV in Congenital heart disease.
