[Myocardial regional contractile function of the right ventricle]

On the basis of the angiocardiographic examination of 22 individuals without cardiovascular diseases or suffering from congenital heart disease with mild hemodynamic changes, the authors devised the method for assessing the regional contractile function of the right ventricle myocardium founded on the anatomical principle of the division of the right ventricle chamber into different portions. The possibility of the quantitative evaluation of the functional status of different portions of the right ventricle is demonstrated.
