contraction of the ventricles

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.
