Thereafter more dye is injected into the left ventricle and the ventriculogram is recorded, which determines the size of the ventricle and adequacy or otherwise of its contraction and the presence or absence of any aneurysm. |
First described in a group of postmenopausal Japanese women, it derives its name from the striking resemblance of its typical ventriculogram findings to the Japanese takotsubo octopus trap. |
The LVEF information was available only for those patients who took at least one of three tests: catheterization, echocardiogram and radionuclide ventriculogram. |
Angiography done the following day showed minor coronary artery disease in the right coronary artery, and a left ventriculogram showed mild inferobasal hypokinesis. |
A coronary angiogram as well as left ventriculogram was obtained at 15 minutes following each infusion. |
