  2. Lateral ventricles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_ventricles

    Lateral ventricles and horns The lateral ventricles connected to the third ventricle by the interventricular foramina. Each lateral ventricle takes the form of an elongated curve, with an additional anterior-facing continuation emerging inferiorly from a point near the posterior end of the curve; the junction is known as the trigone of the lateral ventricle.

  3. Left border of heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_border_of_heart

    The left border of heart (or obtuse margin) is formed from the rounded lateral wall of the left ventricle.It is called the 'obtuse' margin because of the obtuse angle (>90 degrees) created between the anterior part of the heart and the left side, which is formed from the rounded lateral wall of the left ventricle.

  4. Left ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_hypertrophy

    The thickness of the left ventricle as visualized on echocardiography correlates with its actual mass. Left ventricular mass can be further estimated based on geometric assumptions of ventricular shape using the measured wall thickness and internal diameter. [7] Average thickness of the left ventricle, with numbers given as 95% prediction ...

  5. Ventricular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system

    3D rendering of ventricles (lateral and anterior views) The system comprises four ventricles: [5] lateral ventricles right and left (one for each hemisphere) third ventricle; fourth ventricle; There are several foramina, openings acting as channels, that connect the ventricles. The interventricular foramina (also called the foramina of Monro ...

  6. Ventricle (heart) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricle_(heart)

    Left ventricular end diastolic posterior wall dimension: LVPWd: The thickness of the posterior left ventricular wall. 8.3 mm, [20] Range 7 – 11 mm [21] Mean left ventricular myocardial thickness: Mean LVMT: Average thickness of the left ventricle, with numbers given as 95% prediction interval for the short axis images at the mid-cavity level [22]

  7. Anatomy of the human heart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomy_of_the_human_heart

    The heart is a muscular organ situated in the mediastinum.It consists of four chambers, four valves, two main arteries (the coronary arteries), and the conduction system. The left and right sides of the heart have different functions: the right side receives de-oxygenated blood through the superior and inferior venae cavae and pumps blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery, and the left ...

  8. Circumflex branch of left coronary artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumflex_branch_of_left...

    The circumflex artery supplies the posterolateral left ventricle and the anterolateral papillary muscle. It also supplies the sinoatrial nodal artery in 38% of people. It supplies 15–25% of the left ventricle in right-dominant systems. If the coronary anatomy is left-dominant, the circumflex artery supplies 40–50% of the left ventricle.

  9. Transthoracic echocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transthoracic_echocardiogram

    This view shows the right ventricle from base to apex and is a useful view to estimate RV systolic function. TAPSE (= tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion) is also measured in this view with M-mode through the lateral tricuspid annulus. Structures: Inferior septum and anterior lateral segments of the left ventricle; Right ventricle; Left ...
