Normal LV systolic function

What does "Normal LV systolic function" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

"Normal LV systolic function" refers to the proper working of the left ventricle of the heart during the contraction phase. The left ventricle is the chamber of the heart that pumps oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. The contraction phase, also known as systole, is when the heart contracts to push out this blood. So, if someone has a normal LV systolic function, it means their heart is effectively pumping blood to their body.
