ABSTRACT
VENTRICULOGRAPHY Introduction Reliance upon radiographic cardiac-chamber imaging has substantially declined in recent years because of the success of echocardiography and, more recently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 1980, ventriculography was recommended as a routine part of the evaluation of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization (1). More recently, other methods of accurately determining left ventricular (LV) function or the aortic anatomy have supplanted cavity angiography to such a degree that the techniques and technical details of obtaining diagnostic images with ventriculography are being lost.
