Noninvasive Assessment of Left Ventricular Function

  • Conference paper
Radiology Today 1

Part of the book series: Radiology Today ((RADIOL.TODAY,volume 1))

Abstract

Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function is important in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. The rapid deterioration in contractility in myocardial territories with inadequate coronary blood flow leads to regional abnormalities of ventricular wall contraction and to diminished regional ejection of blood. Overall ventricular performance is deprived of the contribution of the involved myocardium.
