Question 1

what is possible ventricular preexcitation?

Accepted Answer

Pre-excitation syndr: Ventricles  depolarize too early causing a partial premature contraction.

Question 2

what is the meaning of grade 1 left ventricular impairment?

Accepted Answer

Diastolic failure: The mildest form is called an "abnormal relaxation pattern", or grade i diastolic dysfunction. On the mitral inflow doppler echocardiogram, there is reversal of the normal e/a ratio. This pattern may develop normally with age in some patients, and many grade i patients will not have any clinical signs or symptoms of heart failure.

Question 3

left ventricular cavityy size is mildly enlarged, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: That depends on many additional pieces of information, such as your body size, clinical history, other structural circumstances of the heart, past medical history, function of the heart.  If you are aware that you lv cavity size is mildly enlarged, you have had cardiac imaging; i recommend discussing this with your cardiologist for an accurate answer.

Question 4

what causes ventricular irrabitlity?

Accepted Answer

Ventricular irritab: Assuming you are referring to pvc's or premature ventricular contractions  - besides myocardial ischemia   the most common cause i see is caffeine ingestion - followed by stimulant ingestion ie pseudofed.    Cocaine and other illicit drugs as well as add drugs can cause irritability as well.   Elimination of these will generally solve the problem if not its time to see a cardiologist.

Question 5

what would cause ventricular irrability?

Accepted Answer

Cellular level: Irritability refers to enhanced ability of the heart cells to generate an electrical impulse (known as action potential).  This happens when a substance referred to as cyclic amp increases in the heart cell causing increased entry of calcium into the cell.  With increased calcium, the heart cell both fire impulses rapidly as well as contract vigorously.  I will go over some of the causes next.

Question 6

what is a third ventricular cysternostomy ?

Accepted Answer

Triggers: Allergic symptoms are triggered by things like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander; vasomotor rhinitis is more likely to be triggered by cold or by eating, with no allergen.

Question 7

how do you assess left ventricular function?

Accepted Answer

Echocardiogram: This is most commonly done with an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the heart. It is also assessed when dye is injected into the heart at the time of a cardiac catheterization or by the injection of radioactive substances into the heart, which is commonly done as part of a stress test.

Question 8

what is mild concentric left ventricular hyper trophy

Accepted Answer

Mild LVH: Mildly increased thickening of the left ventricular walls in a uniform fashion.  Most common reason is hypertension.

Question 9

what are the symptoms of ventricular foramen ovale problems?

Accepted Answer

Foramen Ovale: A foramen ovale (pfo) is a small hole between the two upper chambers of the heart.  It exists as part of the "fetal circulation, " when babies are inside, lungs are full of amniotic fluid.  The pfo allows oxygenated blood returning from the placenta to cross into the left atrium.

Pfos usually close, however if they do not there is a very small risk for a stroke or tia.
Most people have no symptoms.

Question 10

what does it mean to have accelerated ventricular av conduction?

Accepted Answer

Abnormal heart rhyth: It means that the heart is not beating in sinus rhythm. The normal conduction is not present. The person is likely being seen by a cardiologist who will decide how best to treat.
