Ventriculography at the Top Ihilov Medical Center
To identify pathologies of the heart and circulatory system, the Top Ihilov Medical Center conducts diagnostics – ventriculography. This study is performed using a contrast agent that is injected directly into the left ventricle of the heart.
The examination differs from coronary angiography in that the contrast agent spreads through the bloodstream by the heart itself. A series of X-ray images taken with an exposure of up to 0.4 seconds shows all stages of heart function, blood-supplying muscles, areas with impaired vascular permeability, areas of necrosis, etc.
Advantages of Ventriculography
The study not only shows the heart, but also its functionality: the contractile activity of the ventricles, changes and anomalies of the valves, altered heart due to coronary artery disease, myocardial hypertrophy, aortic aneurysm, and more.
Ventriculography is most informative when combined with coronary angiography. As a result of computer image processing, the specialist can visually see the functioning of the heart.
The examination is conducted with the patient's consent, as a diagnostic procedure to confirm the diagnosis or as preoperative diagnostics.
The diagnostic procedure of ventriculography at the Top Ihilov Medical Center is performed by well-prepared, experienced specialists.
