 ==[[Right ventriculography]]==
-==Indications for investigational use==
-This technique has several goals:
-*confirm the presence of a suspected [[Heart disease|heart ailment]]
-*quantify the severity of the disease and its effect on the heart
-*seek out the cause of a symptom such as [[Dypsnea|shortness of breath]] or signs of [[Congestive heart failure|cardiac insufficiency]]
-*make a patient assessment prior to [[Cardiac surgery|heart surgery]]
-==Investigative techniques used with cardiac catheterization==
-A probe that is opaque to [[X-ray]]s is inserted into the left or right chambers of the heart for the following reasons:
-*to measure intracardiac and [[Circulatory system|intravascular]] [[blood pressure]]s
-*to take tissue samples for [[biopsy]]<!--in French, the article literally says "to take blood samples", but that seems like a a complicated method just to draw blood. Maybe I'm missing something here.-->
-*to inject various agents for measuring blood flow in the heart; also to detect and quantify the presence of an intracardiac [[shunt (medical)|shunt]]
-*to inject [[Radiocontrast|contrast agents]] in order to study the shape of the heart vessels and chambers and how they change as the heart beats<!--here I think I've clarified the original French text, which refers to "morphological and kinetic studies"-->
