Right Ventricular Hypertrophy

Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
With this defect, the muscle of the right ventricle is thicker than usual. This occurs because the heart has to work harder than normal to move blood through the narrowed pulmonary valve.
Overriding Aorta ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy. In pulmonary stenosis, the right ventricle must pump harder to force blood into the pulmonary artery.

same time: ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, overriding aorta (the outflow tract of the aorta begins just above the ventricular septal defect instead of at the normal location in the left ventricle), and right ventricular hypertrophy ...

Electrocardiogram (EKG) -- right axis deviation or right ventricular hypertrophy may be present. The hypertrophy is caused by volume overload.

Progression
PS: causes right ventricular hypertrophy and eventually right ventricular failure. Reduced perfusion of the pulmonary vascular bed results in lethargy and syncope.
PR: usually causes no symptoms and treatment is not required.

Findings of right ventricular hypertrophy include an R or R′ wave as tall as or taller than the S wave in lead V1; an R wave smaller than the S wave in lead V6; right-axis deviation > 110° without right bundle branch block; ...

Usually due to the Eisenmenger complex, a ventricular septal defect with right ventricular hypertrophy, severe pulmonary hypertension, and frequent straddling of the defect by a misplaced aortic root.

the lungs (pulmonary stenosis); a displaced aorta, which causes blood to flow into the aorta from both the right and left ventricles (dextroposition or overriding aorta); and abnormal enlargement of the right ventricle (right ventricular hypertrophy).

Abnormal thickening of the muscular wall of your right ventricle (right ventricular hypertrophy) ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy'The right ventricle becomes larger due to thickening of its muscle wall. This thickening occurs because the right ventricle has to work harder to push blood through the narrowed artery to the lungs.
