What are Common Conditions Affecting Ventricular Contraction?
Several conditions can impair ventricular contraction, including:
Myocardial Infarction: Occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked, causing tissue damage and reducing the heart's pumping ability. Cardiomyopathy: A group of diseases that affect the heart muscle, leading to weakened contractions. Arrhythmias: Irregular heart rhythms that can impact the timing and strength of ventricular contractions. Heart Failure: A condition where the heart cannot pump effectively, leading to insufficient blood flow to meet the body's needs.
