Preferred Label : ventricular pressure;
MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : intraventricular pressure; pressures, intraventricular; pressure, ventricular; pressures, ventricular; ventricular pressures; intraventricular pressures; pressure, intraventricular;
MeSH annotation : within heart, not cerebral ventricles;
Origin ID : D017725;
UMLS CUI : C0206177;
