interventriculær

The term *interventrikulær* originates from Latin, combining *inter* (meaning "between") and *ventriculus* (meaning "little belly" or "ventricle"). In medical and anatomical contexts, it refers to structures or processes occurring between the ventricles of the heart or brain.

In cardiology, an *interventrikulær* pathway or connection typically describes anatomical or functional relationships between the left and right ventricles of the heart. For example, an *interventrikulær septum* is the wall dividing the two ventricles, ensuring unidirectional blood flow. Abnormalities in this septum, such as a ventricular septal defect (VSD), involve a hole that allows blood to leak between the ventricles, potentially leading to complications like heart failure or pulmonary hypertension.

In neurology, the term may relate to pathways or connections between the lateral ventricles of the brain, which are fluid-filled cavities involved in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation. Conditions affecting these spaces, such as hydrocephalus, can disrupt normal CSF flow and increase intracranial pressure.

The term is also used in clinical imaging, such as MRI or CT scans, to describe interventricular structures or measurements, such as the interventricular septum thickness, which may be assessed for diagnostic or monitoring purposes. Proper understanding of interventricular anatomy and physiology is essential for diagnosing and treating cardiac and neurological disorders.
