| Left Ventricular Function Assessment |
The proper treatment for heart failure depends on what area of your heart is affected. An important test is to check how your heart is pumping, called “the left ventricular function assessment.” It can tell your health care provider whether the left side of your heart is pumping properly. |

An ACE inhibitor (angiotensin-converting enzyme) is a type of medicine used to treat heart attacks, heart failure, or a decreased function of the left side of your heart. |
