Left Ventricular Function refers to how well the left ventricle of the heart pumps blood to the body. The left ventricle is responsible for receiving oxygen-rich blood from the lungs and then contracting to send it out through the aorta. This function is crucial for maintaining adequate blood flow and ensuring that all organs receive the oxygen and nutrients they need. Several factors can affect Left Ventricular Function, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and valve problems. Doctors often assess this function using tests like echocardiograms or cardiac MRI to determine the heart's efficiency and identify any potential issues that may require treatment.
