From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Intraventricular refers to something located or occurring within a ventricle. In the context of medicine, it is often used to describe conditions, procedures, or devices related to the ventricles of the heart or brain.

Heart[edit | edit source]

The term intraventricular is often used in cardiology to describe conditions or procedures that occur within the ventricles of the heart. For example, an intraventricular conduction delay is a condition where the electrical signals in the heart are delayed or blocked as they travel through the ventricles. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including irregular heart rhythms, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

Brain[edit | edit source]

In neurology, intraventricular refers to conditions or procedures that occur within the ventricles of the brain. For example, an intraventricular hemorrhage is a type of stroke that occurs when there is bleeding into the ventricles of the brain. This can cause a variety of symptoms, including headache, nausea, and changes in consciousness.
