Definition
English
:
The
pressure
within a CARDIAC VENTRICLE.
Ventricular pressure
waveforms can be measured in the beating
heart
by
catheterization
or estimated using imaging
techniques
(e.g., DOPPLER ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY). The
information
is useful in evaluating the function of the
MYOCARDIUM
; CARDIAC VALVES; and
PERICARDIUM
, particularly with simultaneous measurement of other (e.g., aortic or atrial) pressures.
