Various diagnostic tools and techniques are available to assess ventricular contraction, including:
Electrocardiogram (ECG): Measures the electrical activity of the heart and helps identify abnormalities in the heart's rhythm and conduction. Echocardiography: Uses ultrasound waves to create images of the heart, providing information on the structure and function of the ventricles. Cardiac MRI: Offers detailed images of the heart's anatomy and can evaluate the extent of damage to the heart muscle. Blood Tests: Can identify biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) that indicate heart failure.
