  2. Hyperdynamic precordium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperdynamic_precordium

    Hyperdynamic precordium is a condition where the precordium (the area of the chest over the heart) moves too much (is hyper dynamic) due to some pathology of the heart. That means a forceful and hyperdynamic impulse ( large amplitude that terminates quickly) can be palpated during physical examination. [ 1 ]

  3. Parasternal heave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasternal_heave

    The palpation of dilated myopathy differs in that the impulse tends to be vigorous and brief. This is in contrast with the sustained impulse of the hypertrophied right ventricle. [5] A parasternal heave may also be felt in mitral stenosis. [6] A left ventricular heave (or lift) suggests the possibility of aortic stenosis. [citation needed]

  4. Cardiac examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_examination

    Also, left ventricular failure leads to pulmonary edema which increases and may impede breathing if the patient is laid flat. Lighting should be adjusted so that it is not obscured by the examiner who will approach from the right hand side of the patient as is medical custom.

  5. Precordium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precordium

    In anatomy, the precordium or praecordium is the portion of the body over the heart and lower chest. [1] Defined anatomically, it is the area of the anterior chest wall over the heart. It is therefore usually on the left side, except in conditions like dextrocardia, where the individual's heart is on the right side. In such a case, the ...

  6. Pressure overload - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_overload

    Pressure overload of the right ventricle leads to right ventricular hypertrophy; right image. Pressure overload refers to the pathological state of cardiac muscle in which it has to contract while experiencing an excessive afterload .

  7. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.

  8. Functional murmur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_murmur

    Heart sounds of a healthy human female with a functional or "innocent" heart murmur after exercise. A functional murmur (innocent murmur, physiologic murmur) is a heart murmur that is primarily due to physiologic conditions outside the heart, as opposed to structural defects in the heart itself. [1]

  9. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ventricular_hypertrophy

    Right ventricular hypertrophy is the intermediate stage between increased right ventricular pressure (in the early stages) and right ventricle failure (in the later stages). [11] As such, management of right ventricular hypertrophy is about either preventing the development of right ventricular hypertrophy in the first place, or preventing the ...
