Contrast Ventriculography

  • Chapter
Myocardial Infarction

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 14))

Abstract

Global as well as regional ventricular function may be altered as a result of obstructive coronary artery disease. These changes may be caused by myocardial ischemia or as a result of a healed transmural myocardial infarct. Contrast ventriculography is a useful technique by which both global and regional abnormalities of left ventricular function may be clinically demonstrated.
