Since the posterior ventricular wall is unable to expand, an increase in left ventricular volume with the atrial systole produces a marked displacement of the septum.

Carvedilol,a 3rd generation beta blocker, may actually reverse the remodelling process by reducing left ventricular volumes and improving systolic function.

By knowing the long and short axis lengths of the ventricle, ventricular volume is easily and accurately determined.

The formula by Baan et al. (1984) for obtaining ventricular volume is as follows:

Associations between third ventricular volume and cognitive performance on memory tests have been found in alcoholics.

Specifically, increases in third ventricular volume correlate with a decline in memory performance.

Total cerebral and grey matter volumes peak during the ages from 10-20 years (earlier in girls than boys), whereas white matter and ventricular volumes increase.

The increase in ventricular volume also causes a reduction in stroke volume due to mechanical and contractile inefficiency.

The right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) ranges between 100 and 160 mL.

The right ventricular end-systolic volume (RVESV) normally ranges between 50 and 100 mL.
