I. (adjective)
Sense 1
Meaning:
Of or relating to a ventricle (of the heart or brain)
Classified under:
Relational adjectives (pertainyms)
Pertainym:
ventricle (a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps it to the arteries)
ventricle (one of four connected cavities in the brain; is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord and contains cerebrospinal fluid)
Derivation:
ventricle (a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps it to the arteries)
ventricle (one of four connected cavities in the brain; is continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord and contains cerebrospinal fluid)
Context examples:
An electrocardiographic finding of premature ventricular complexes which have two or more distinct morphologies, suggesting origin at more than one ventricular site.
(Multifocal Ventricular Premature Complex by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
An electrocardiographic finding in which the ventricular rhythm is controlled by an electrical impulse from an artificial cardiac pacemaker.
(Paced Ventricular Rhythm, NCI Thesaurus/CDISC)
An episodic form of ventricular tachycardia, with abrupt onset and termination.
(Paroxysmal Ventricular Tachycardia by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus)
An electrocardiographic finding showing an injury of indeterminate age in leads corresponding to the anatomic region of the right ventricular wall of the heart.
(Old or Age Indeterminate Right Ventricular Myocardial Infarction by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus)
An electrocardiographic finding of ventricular tachycardia less than 30 seconds in duration.
(Non-Sustained Ventricular Tachycardia by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus)
There is considerable evidence that direct effects of increased mechanical stress are sensed within the ventricular wall and that signal is critical for the generation of growth responses.
(NFAT Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)
One of responses to increased blood pressure is cardiac hypertrophy through increased size of ventricular myocardial cells leading to increased thickness of the ventricular walls.
(Cardiac Hypertrophy Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/BIOCARTA)
A percutaneous coronary intervention is necessary for a myocardial infarction that presents with ST segment elevation and the subject does not have recurrent or persistent symptoms, symptoms of heart failure or ventricular arrhythmia.
(Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction-Stable-Over 12 Hours From Symptom Onset, NCI Thesaurus/ACC)
