Abstract

The left ventricle (LV) can be compared to two partially amalgamated and connected cones representing the filling and ejection chambers (Fig. 1), with a common point towards the front and two adjoining bases towards the spine. The input orifice of the filling chamber and the output orifice of the ejection chamber are connected by the intervalvular trigone, a fibrous formation joining together the mitral septal leaflet and the posterior and left aortic semi-lunar valves (Fig. 2). A cross-sectional view of the LV, perpendicular to its longitudinal axis (Fig. 3), shows a septal wall and three free walls which seem to form a single regularly convex wall successively anterior, lateral and inferior. The practice of left ventriculography in right anterior oblique (RAO) and left anterior oblique (LAO) projections has led to the adoption of a suitable terminology to designate the LV walls: anterior and inferior clearly visible in RAO projection, lateral and septal in LAO projection (Figs. 4 and 5).
