Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy / Dysplasia (ARVC, ARVD)

…TAD on the electrocardiogram. Echocardiography in ARVC Echocardiography shows global right ventricular dilation. The left ventricle and the septum are generally spared. Regional wall motion…

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR/TI)

…It should be noted that imaging of the right ventricle requires an experienced echocardiographer. Three dimensional (3D) echocardiography should be considered in laboratories with expertise…

Mitral valve stenosis

…the right ventricle and right atrium, leading to right heart hypertrophy, dilation and ultimately right heart failure. Echocardiography in mitral stenosis Echocardiographic assessment of mitral…

Pulmonary regurgitation

…aplasia of the pulmonary valve Idiopathic pulmonary artery dilation Pulmonary regurgitation results in right ventricular volume overload, which gradually causes right ventricular failure. The ventricle…

Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

…increased intramural pressure in the right ventricle, which is counteracted by dilatation of the ventricle. Dilatation of the right ventricle results in reduced intraventricular pressure…

Right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH): ECG criteria & clinical characteristics

…with respect to RVH, because the right ventricle is difficult to visualize clearly with trans thoracic echocardiography. Causes of right ventricular hypertrophy Lung disease (with…

Left atrial enlargement (P mitrale) & right atrial enlargement (P pulmonale) on ECG

…pulmonale: right atrial enlargement (hypertrophy, dilatation) Enlargement of the right atrium is commonly a consequence of increased resistance to empty blood into the right ventricle…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…left ventricular enlargement, right ventricular enlargement and atrial enlargement. Below follows a discussion on the principles and differences of dilatation and hypertrophy, as well as…

Interpretation of Pacemaker ECG

…the right ventricle (where the pacemaker delivers the pulses). The depolarizing wave spreads outside the conduction system, which is considerably slower, as compared with impulse…

Overview of the ECG Waves, Deflections, Intervals, Durations

…than the right ventricle, the QRS complex is actually a reflection of the electrical potentials generated by the left ventricle. QRS duration QRS duration is…
