Ventricle

Ventricle: A chamber of an organ. For example, the four connected cavities (hollow spaces) in the central portion of the brain and the lower two chambers of the heart are called ventricles.

Single ventricle defects is an umbrella term used to describe several very different complex congenital (present at birth) heart defects that share the same problem: the heart has only one functional ventricle.

Ventricles of the brain
Definition:
Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a brain disorder that occurs when the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked. The fluid fills up within the brain, which in turn compresses brain tissue.

The ventricles (fluid-filled chambers) of the brain enlarge to accommodate the increased volume of CSF so the pressure of CSF, when measured by lumbar puncture (spinal tap), remains normal.

The ventricles then contract to push the blood out of the heart into the blood vessels of your lungs and the rest of your body.
The heart usually beats 60-90 times a minute. A heart rate faster than 100 beats per minute is considered tachycardia.

Your ventricles then relax during diastole and are filled with blood coming from the upper chambers, the left and right atria. The cycle then starts over again.

The left ventricle's ability to fill is called the diastolic function. When that ability is impaired, it is called diastolic dysfunction. Diastolic dysfunction can be caused by: ...

Ependymoma (WHO grade II) is a slow-growing tumor of children and young adults that originates from the wall of the cerebral ventricles or from the spinal canal and is composed of neoplastic ependymal cells.

Either the left or right ventricle alone may fail first, although combined failure is most common and almost always eventually occurs.

In normal adults, the heart beats regularly at a rate of 60 to 100 times per minute, and the pulse (felt at the wrist, neck or elsewhere) matches the contractions of the heart's two powerful lower chambers, called the ventricles.

It consists of four chambers - the right and left atriums and the right and left ventricles.

They do not coordinate with the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles). This affects the ability of the heart to pump blood. It may also cause an increase in your heart rate.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT): VT is less common, but more dangerous.

One of these chambers is called the right ventricle. The job of the right ventricle is to pump blood into the main lung arteries so the lungs can give oxygen to the blood.

The tricuspid valve controls blood flow from the right atrium into the right ventricle.
The pulmonary valve controls blood flow out of the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery (into the lungs).

The standard treatment is the insertion of a narrow tube (a shunt) in one of the ventricles of the brain and diverting excess fluid to another body cavity, most often the abdomen.

If just the left ventricle is enlarged, the condition is known as left ventricular hypertrophy. This can occur as a result of diseases or conditions that place extra stress on the left ventricle, which is the heart's main pumping chamber.

A type of brain tumor that may arise in the ventricles of the brain or in the spinal cord. Also called an ependymal tumor.

A similar hole connecting the more powerful "pumping chambers" the ventricles is called a ventricular septal defect (VSD). These conditions produce murmurs that indicate the serious nature of the underlying heart defects.
