ventrikülde
Ventrikülde is a term used in veterinary medicine, specifically referring to a condition in the ventricles of the heart. This condition involves abnormal fluid accumulation within these chambers. The ventricles are the lower, muscular chambers of the heart responsible for pumping blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. When fluid builds up in the ventricles, it can interfere with the heart's ability to effectively pump blood, potentially leading to various cardiovascular problems. The causes of ventrikülde can be diverse and may include congenital abnormalities, infections, or other underlying diseases affecting the cardiac system. Diagnosis often involves imaging techniques such as echocardiography to visualize the fluid and assess the heart's function. Treatment strategies are dependent on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition, and may involve medications to manage fluid balance or address the root disease. Prognosis varies widely based on these factors.
