Ventricular Function Assessment

Ventricular function assessment evaluates how effectively the heart's ventricles (the main pumping chambers) are working to circulate blood. Using tests like echocardiograms, MRI, or pressure measurements, doctors examine the size, movement, and ability of these chambers to contract and relax. This helps identify issues like weakened pumping strength or abnormal filling, which can lead to conditions such as heart failure. Accurate assessment guides treatment decisions and monitors the heart's health over time, ensuring that the ventricles are functioning properly to meet the body's needs.
