They are core cardiac anatomy and physiology terms used across cardiology, emergency care, and cardiac surgery. Clinical discussions about Ventricles commonly involve pumping function, pressures, and chamber size. They are assessed with bedside examination and tests such as electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography.
