What's the difference between interventricular and ventricular?
Interventricular
Definition:
(a.) Between the ventricles; as, the interventricular partition of the heart.

(9) The atrial complex was a common chamber with an attempt at division into two parts by a circular ridge of tissue; the ventricular complex was formed by three chambers which were all communicating between each other in the superior margin of their muscular interventricular septum.
(10) Finally, fibrosis may paradoxically reduce passive stiffness if it leads to a thinning of the interventricular septum.
(11) In the remainder a wide spectrum of abnormalities was found such as prolapse of the mitral valve (in 13.6%), bicuspid aortal valve with a medium regurgitation (4.5%), hypoplasia of the coronary cusp of the aortal valve (4.5%), dilatation of the ascending aorta with a residual significant stenosis at the site after operation of coarctation of the thoracic aorta (4.5%), subaortal defect of the interventricular septum (4.5%) and slight left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with arterial hypertension (9.1%).

(15) Prospective studies have documented changes in interventricular septa of babies exposed to these drugs.
(16) Although, both the mexiletine-quinidine combination and quinidine monotherapy prolonged refractoriness to a similar extent, the mexiletine-quinidine combination produced greater antiarrhythmic efficacy and prolonged interventricular conduction within the periinfarct zone to an extent greater than did quinidine alone.
(17) The histopathological study of this late one showed localized hemorrhage of the papillary muscles and interventricular septum.
(18) Coronary arteriography showed stenosis of the anterior interventricular artery and occlusion of the first diagonal artery; the other coronary vessels were normal.
(19) Patients with sickle cell anemia had a significantly greater mean left ventricular systolic dimension index, left ventricular diastolic dimension index, left ventricular mass, stroke volume index, interventricular septal width, aortic root index and left atrial index.
(20) Heart weights, including mean relative weights of the right and combined left ventricles and interventricular septa, were significantly greater in turkeys that died with PHS than in controls.
Ventricular
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a ventricle; bellied.
Example Sentences:
(1) Without medication atypical ventricular tachycardia develops, in the author's opinion, most probably when bradycardia has persisted for a prolonged period.
(2) The extents of phospholipid hydrolysis were relatively low in brain homogenates, synaptic plasma membranes and heart ventricular muscle.
(3) Electrophysiologic studies are indicated in patients with sustained paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or aborted sudden death.
(4) Of 19 patients with coronary artery disease and "normal" omnicardiograms, only 8 (42%) had normal ventricular angiography.
(5) A quadripolar catheter was positioned either at the site of earliest ventricular activation during induced monomorphic ventricular tachycardia or at circumscribed areas of the left ventricle.
(6) In patients with coronary artery disease, electrocardiographic signs of left atrial enlargement (LAE-negative P wave deflection greater than or equal to 1 mm2 in lead V1) are associated with increased left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP).
(7) The clinically normotensive cases had greater left ventricular mass than the normotensive controls (p less than 0.02).
(8) Only the approximately 2.7 kb mRNA species was visualized in Northern blots of total cellular and poly(A+) RNA isolated from cardiac ventricular muscle.
(9) In this paper, we report the cases of 4 male patients (mean age 32.7 yr) with right-ventricular dysplasia, that occurred in familial form.
(10) After 1 year, anesthesia was induced with chloralose and an electrode catheter placed at the right ventricular apex.
(11) The study revealed that hypophysectomy and ventricular injection of AVP dose dependently raised pain threshold and these effects were inhibited by naloxone.
(12) All patients with localized subaortic hypertrophy had left ventricular hypertrophy (left ventricular mass or posterior wall thickness greater than 2 SD from normal) with a normal size cavity due to aortic valve disease (2 patients were also hypertensive).
(13) The first patient, an 82-year-old woman, developed a WPW syndrome suggesting posterior right ventricular preexcitation, a pattern which persisted for four months until her death.
(14) We studied the effects of the localisation and size of ischemic brain infarcts and the influence of potential covariates (gender, age, time since infarction, physical handicap, cognitive impairment, aphasia, cortical atrophy and ventricular size) on 'post-stroke depression'.
