• Cardiac ventriculography - is a medical imaging test used to determine a patient s cardiac function in the right, or more typically, left ventricle. (en-academic.com)
  • A nuclear MUGA check, likewise called cardiac blood swimming pool imaging or a nuclear ventriculography check, is a type of heart imaging examination that utilizes a radioactive tracer to demonstrate how well your heart pumps during rest and workout. (sleepinn-niantic.com)
  • Coronary angiography showed normal coronary arteries with no stenosis, but ventriculography was demonstrative for an apical balooning (Figure 2). (docksci.com)
  • Nuclear ventriculography is a test that uses radioactive materials called tracers to show the heart chambers. (medlineplus.gov)
  • Contrast material passes beyond the area of obstruction but fails to opacify the entire coronary bed distal to the obstruction for the duration of the cineangiographic filming sequence. (wikidoc.org)
  • The catheter tip is directed toward a point 2 cm above the glabella and passed to a distance of 4 to 5 cm or until CSF is encountered. (wikipedia.org)
  • The procedure was first performed in a human by German physician Werner Forssmann ( Forssmann, Werner ), who in 1929 opened a vein in his own arm, inserted a urethral catheter about 3.2 mm (0.125 inch) in diameter and 76 cm (2.5 feet) long, and passed it to the right side of his heart while photographing his accomplishment with an X-ray machine.

  • A 4-French pigtail catheter was introduced and passed to the abdominal aorta. (mtsamples.com)
  • A 5-French wedge catheter was introduced through the sheath in the right internal jugular vein and was passed to the left pulmonary artery and further to the left pulmonary capillary wedge position. (mtsamples.com)
  • This catheter would not pass to the right pulmonary artery. (mtsamples.com)
  • A 5-French IMA catheter was then introduced and passed to the right pulmonary artery. (mtsamples.com)
  • The 5 wedge catheter was advanced through the right femoral sheath and was passed to the following chambers or vessels: Inferior vena cava, right atrium, left atrium, and right ventricle. (mtsamples.com)
  • This substance attaches to red blood cells and passes through the heart. (medlineplus.gov)
  • It is used for injecting drugs for therapy or diagnosis, for measuring blood flow and pressure in the heart and central blood vessels, in performing procedures such as angiography (X-ray examination of the arteries and veins) and angioplasty (a procedure used to dilate obstructed arteries), and as a means of passing electrodes into the heart to study, restore , or regulate the heartbeat. (en-academic.com)
  • The tracer is supplied into your blood stream with an IV line and the electronic camera tracks the radiation as it passes through your heart. (sleepinn-niantic.com)
  • The more time that passes before a person receives emergency treatment, the more likely a person is to experience permanent heart damage or death. (crossrivercardiology.com)
  • We report our experience with the intrathecal use of Gd-DTPA for MR cisternography and ventriculography in pediatric patients referred for study and treatment of complex CSF-related diseases. (ajnr.org)
