Ventricular Dysfunction, Left - Psychology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Ventricular Dysfunction, Left'A condition in which the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart was functionally impaired. This condition usually leads to HEART FAILURE; MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION; and other cardiovascular complications. Diagnosis is made by measuring the diminished ejection fraction and a depressed level of motility of the left ventricular wall. Common names: Ventricular Dysfunction, Left; Left Ventricular Dysfunction; Dysfunction, Left Ventricular; Dysfunctions, Left Ventricular; Left Ventricular Dysfunctions; Ventricular Dysfunctions, Left |
