  2. 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.

  3. Meigs's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meigs's_syndrome

    Meigs syndrome may mimic other conditions, [4] since it is tumor arising from ovaries, pathology of any organs present in the abdomen may show a similar set of symptoms. . These include various gynecological disorders of the uterus such as endometrial tumor, sarcoma, leiomyoma (pseudo-Meigs syndrome); fallopian tube disorders such as hydrosalpinx, granulomatous salpingitis, fallopian tube ...

  4. Tricuspid regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_regurgitation

    The symptoms of TR depend on its severity. Severe TR causes right-sided heart failure, with the development of ascites and peripheral edema. [1] In severe cases of right heart failure due to TR, venous congestion of the kidneys and liver may lead to cardiorenal syndrome (kidney failure secondary to heart failure) and cardiohepatic syndromes (liver failure secondary to heart failure ...

  5. Right axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_axis_deviation

    Quadrant Method: [19] Leads I and II are usually observed. If lead I is positive (translating to 0° on the hexaxial reference system) and lead II is positive (translating to 60°), the electrical heart axis is estimated to fall in the left lower quadrant within the normal range. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 2, if lead I is negative ...

  6. Subcutaneous implantable defibrillator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcutaneous_implantable...

    The subcutaneous ICD delivers therapy without the need for wires implanted in the heart. Depending on heart condition, 1, 2 or 3 leads will be placed in the heart. Once the leads are put in place, they are attached to the heart wall for optimal connectivity. The subcutaneous ICD leaves the heart and blood vessels untouched and intact.

  7. Lead poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_poisoning

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US) has set the upper limit for blood lead for adults at 10 μg/dL (10 μg/100 g) and for children at 3.5 μg/dL; [8] before October 2021 the limit was 5 μg/dL. [9] [10] Elevated lead may also be detected by changes in red blood cells or dense lines in the bones of children as seen on X-ray. [4]

  8. 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]

  9. Congestive hepatopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congestive_hepatopathy

    Signs and symptoms depend largely upon the primary lesions giving rise to the condition. In addition to the heart or lung symptoms, there will be a sense of fullness and tenderness in the right hypochondriac region. Gastrointestinal catarrh is usually present, and vomiting of blood may occur. There is usually more or less jaundice.
