  2. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ventricular_hypertrophy

    Echocardiography can be used to directly visualise right ventricular wall thickness. The preferred technique is the trans-oesophageal approach giving a view of 4 chambers. The normal thickness of a right ventricular free wall ranges from 2-5 millimetres, with a value above 5 mm considered to be hypertrophic. [10]

  3. Pulmonary heart disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_heart_disease

    Pulmonary heart disease, also known as cor pulmonale, is the enlargement and failure of the right ventricle of the heart as a response to increased vascular resistance (such as from pulmonic stenosis) or high blood pressure in the lungs.

  4. Ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_hypertrophy

    In either condition fewer than 10% of patients with significant hypertrophy display a normal EKG. [ 15 ] Transthoracic echocardiography , a similarly non-invasive assessment of cardiac morphology, is also important in determining both the degree of hypertrophy, underlying pathologies (such as aortic coarction), and degree of cardiac dysfunction.

  5. Right atrial enlargement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_atrial_enlargement

    Right atrial enlargement (RAE) is clinically significant due to its prevalence in diagnosing supraventricular arrhythmias. Further, early diagnosis using risk factors like RAE may decrease mortality because patients with RAE are at 9x more risk of arrhythmias and other cardiac conditions compared to their healthy counterparts. [ 2 ]

  6. Cardiomegaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomegaly

    Cardiomegaly can be classified by the main enlarged location of the heart, and/or by the structure of the enlargement. Specific subtypes include athletic heart syndrome , which is a non- pathological condition commonly seen in sports medicine in which the heart is enlarged, and the resting heart rate is lower than normal.

  7. Restrictive cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictive_cardiomyopathy

    Biatrial enlargement; Thickened LV walls (with normal chamber size) Thickened RV free wall (with normal chamber size) Elevated right atrial pressure (>12mmHg), Moderate pulmonary hypertension, Normal systolic function, Poor diastolic function, typically Grade III - IV Diastolic heart failure.

  9. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmogenic_cardiomyopathy

    This could possibly be a result of excessive right ventricular (RV) wall stress during very high volumes of training, which is known to be causing a disproportionate remodeling of RV. [ 35 ] [ 36 ] In a 2003 study, 46 endurance athletes, mostly cyclists, presented with various symptoms suggestive of arrhythmia of RV origin. 59% of participants ...
