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]
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 ...
Right ventricular lift: 9 40% Chest deformity 4 18% Mechanism. Trilogy of Fallot is a combination of three congenital heart defects: pulmonary stenosis, right ...
A right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a heart block in the right bundle branch of the electrical conduction system. [1] During a right bundle branch block, the right ventricle is not directly activated by impulses traveling through the right bundle branch. However, the left bundle branch still normally activates the left ventricle.
Ventricular hypertrophy (VH) is thickening of the walls of a ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. [ 1 ] [ better source needed ] Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more common, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), as well as concurrent hypertrophy of both ventricles can also occur.
Right ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the muscular walls of the right ventricle, this is a result of the increased amount of work the heart has to do) Ventricular septal defect (a hole exists in the septum that divides the left and right ventricles)
Ordinarily the JVP falls with inspiration due to reduced pressure in the expanding thoracic cavity and the increased volume afforded to right ventricular expansion during diastole. Kussmaul sign suggests impaired filling of the right ventricle due to a poorly compliant myocardium or pericardium. This impaired filling causes the increased blood ...
Wandering atrial pacemaker (WAP) is an atrial rhythm where the pacemaking activity of the heart originates from different locations within the atria. [1] This is different from normal pacemaking activity, where the sinoatrial node (SA node) is responsible for each heartbeat and keeps a steady rate and rhythm.
