It is a reduction in the size of a cardiac ventricle. This can be due to prolonged immobilization or from the tissue degeneration (wasting away), that follows with debilitating chronic illnesses.

How does Myocardial Atrophy affect the heart?
Myocardial atrophy is a condition where the heart chambers decrease in size. The heart muscle atrophy or shrink because of cancer or other similar conditions.
What effect does atropine have on heart rate?
Ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia.
What is the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
A diagram of the ventricular systole in the heart?
This can be seen by clicing on the link below ( The ventricular systole )
What is the cause of ventricular tachycardia?
Most ventricular tachycardias are associated with serious heart disease such as coronary artery blockage, cardiomyopathy, or valvular heart disease.
Is Alzheimer's disease a result of brain ventricular atrophy?
Yes

What is ventricular in heart?
the 2 lower chambers of the heart

LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
What heart conditions is propafenone used for?
heart arrhythmias usually of the more dangerous kind. Like ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

Is ventricular tachycardia a type of abnormal heart rhythm?
Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the heart beats rapidly due to electrical stimulation coming from the ventricle.
What is cardiac atrophy?
cardiac atrophy! a wasting of heart muscle usually caused by cachexia, aging, or a mediastinal tumor.
What is the cause of ventricular tachycardia?
Most ventricular tachycardias are associated with serious heart disease such as coronary artery blockage, cardiomyopathy, or valvular heart disease.
How many types of heart rythem-?
There are three types of heart rhythms and they include; Supraventricular arrhythmias,Ventricular arrhythmias,Bradyarrhythmias.
What is the difference between heart rate and ventricular rate?
On an ECG the heart rate will match both ventricular rate and atrial rate if the heart is normal. If people have atrial fibrilation then the ventricular rate will be used on the ECG to work out the rate of the ventricular contraction and vice-versa with ventricular fibrilation. Usually both atrial and ventricular rates match so if the atria contracts at 70 BPM the ventricles will beat at 70 BPM. It is possible for the ECG machine to work out atrial or ventricular rate if needs be. Usually, however, if the ECG machine just displays heart rate then both ventricular and atrial rates match.
