  2. 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 ...

  3. Tricuspid regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_regurgitation

    Congenital abnormalities are much less common than acquired. The most common acquired TR is due to right ventricular dilatation. Such dilatation is most often due left heart failure or pulmonary hypertension. Other causes of right ventricular dilatation include right ventricular infarction, inferior myocardial infarction, and cor pulmonale. [3]

  4. Cardiomegaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomegaly

    Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common type of cardiomegaly. In this condition, the walls of the left and/or right ventricles of the heart become thin and stretched. [29] In the other types, the heart's left ventricle becomes abnormally thick. Hypertrophy is usually what causes left ventricular enlargement.

  5. Dilated cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilated_cardiomyopathy

    When left bundle-branch block (LBBB) is accompanied by right axis deviation (RAD), the rare combination is considered to be highly suggestive of dilated or congestive cardiomyopathy. [29] [30] Echocardiogram shows left ventricular dilatation with normal or thinned walls and reduced ejection fraction.

  6. Ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_hypertrophy

    The underlying commonality in these disease states is an increase in pressures that the ventricles experience. For example, in tetralogy of Fallot, the right ventricle is exposed to the high pressures of the left heart due to a defect in the septum; as a result the right ventricle undergoes hypertrophy to compensate for these increased pressures.

  7. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_pulmonary...

    For those not experiencing any symptoms, TPVR is indicated if there is severe right ventricular outflow tract narrowing and/or severe pulmonary insufficiency, with decreased exercise capacity, progressive right ventricular dilation, progressive right ventricular dysfunction, progressive tricuspid valve regurgitation, right ventricular systolic ...

  8. Right heart strain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_heart_strain

    An important potential finding with echo is McConnell's sign, where only the RV apex wall contracts; [7] it is specific for right heart strain and typically indicates a large PE. [8] On an electrocardiogram (ECG), there are multiple ways RV strain can be demonstrated. A finding of S1Q3T3 [b] is an insensitive [10] sign of right heart strain. [11]

  9. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmogenic_cardiomyopathy

    ACM is a progressive disease. Over time, the right ventricle becomes more involved, leading to right ventricular failure. The right ventricle will fail before there is left ventricular dysfunction. However, by the time the individual has signs of overt right ventricular failure, there will be histological involvement of the left ventricle.
