Arterial switch, to correct transposition of the great arteries, involves connecting the aorta to the left ventricle and connecting the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle.

Transposition of the great arteries also can be corrected by the Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure, in which the pulmonary artery is cut in two and connected to the ascending aorta and the farthest section of the right ventricle.

Diastolic blood pressure-Diastole is the period in which the left ventricle relaxes so it can refill with blood; diastolic pressure is therefore measured during diastole.

Mitral valve prolapse-A heart defect in which the mitral valve of the heart (which normally controls blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle) becomes floppy.

Normally, the pulmonary artery carries blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.

The aorta carries blood from the left ventricle to the vessels of the rest of the body.

It goes first to the right atrium of the heart and then to the right ventricle where it is pumped to the lungs.

After the lungs, the blood flows to the left atrium, then the left ventricle pumps the blood out through the aorta to the rest of the body, thereby supplying the body with oxygenated blood.

This condition causes oxygen depleted blood to be circulated to the body because the aorta is connected to the right ventricle.

Blood returning to the heart goes to the right atrium and ventricle, and then it goes into the aorta for distribution throughout the body instead of to the lungs to be oxygenated.

At the same time, blood in the lungs goes to the left atrium, the left ventricle, but then back to the lungs rather than going to the body because the pulmonary artery is connected to the left ventricle.

The ventricle on the left side pumps blood full of oxygen through the body; the ventricle on the right side pumps the same blood through the pulmonary artery to the lungs to take up oxygen.

The left ventricle operates at pressures about four times as high as the right ventricle.

Second, the right side of the heart (ventricle) hypertrophies (gets more muscular) from the extra exercise demanded of it.

Normal pressure hydrocephalus is marked by ventricle enlargement without an apparent increase in CSF pressure.

Also refers to a small tube placed in a ventricle of the brain to direct cerebrospinal fluid away from a blockage into another part of the body.

The effects are an increase in stroke volume or the amount of blood flow caused by a single contraction of the left ventricle.

The right ventricle occupies the ventral portion of the heart.

The heart lying within the adjacent pericardium has the usual form, a single auricle and ventricle.

Rectum traversing the ventricle of the heart.

The rectum traverses the pericardium, and has the ventricle of the heart wrapped, as it were, around it.

In the primitive form a single anterior aorta is given off from the ventricle, the two together representing the dorsal blood-vessel of Chaetopods.

The heart is enclosed in the pericardium, and consists of a median elongated ventricle and a pair of lateral auricles, so that the structure somewhat resembles that in the Lamellibranchiata.

In the true Chitonidae there are generally two apertures on each side, and in two species three or four, another instance of the tendency to metameric repetition in the group. The auricles are connected with one another posteriorly behind the ventricle.
