What does IVS mean?
I’d like to know 1. What the acronym stands for and 2. What the values mean in practical terms.
So, it usually stands for "intact ventricular septum". Often it's mentioned with PA. So it would read PA/IVS. Is that what you are referring to? In this case, it means the ventricular septum is intact or doesn't have a hole in it. It also can mean interventricular septum. This is part of the heart. It's part of the conduction system and works with the mechanical function of both ventricles.
