Ventricular hypertrophy (VH) is thickening of the walls of a ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. [ 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…
Most common diseases
Cardiomyopathy
[…] or biventricular hypertrophy. [lifeinthefastlane.com]
In both patients, echocardiography showed LV hypertrophy, biventricular systolic dysfunction, and a large amount of pericardial effusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The mean heart weight was 393 g (range, 240-590 g), and 10 cases had relative heart hypertrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Patent Ductus Arteriosus
With a larger degree of shunting, there may be biventricular hypertrophy. [youtube.com]
A large PDA may be associated with signs of biventricular hypertrophy (BVH) and in those with pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) may be present. [patient.info]
ECG is often normal in small or moderate PDA but there may be signs of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). [patient.info]
Atrial Septal Defect
Biventricular cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure in the presence of a pre-existing atrial septal defect (ASD) are a rare association of primary aldosteronism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Typical electrocardiographic findings consist of peaked P waves, a prolonged P-R interval, rSR pattern in the right precordial leads and biventricular hypertrophy. [ajconline.org]

Ostium Primum Atrial Septal Defect
Katz-Wachtel phenomenon (biventricular hypertrophy pattern) is observed. Dr. Mahmut Gokdemir has donated this ECG to our website. [metealpaslan.com]
Eisenmenger Syndrome
Sometimes, these alterations are superimposed by ECG signs of the underlying cardiac defect (e.g. left or biventricular hypertrophy in univentricular hearts, transposition [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiac Amyloidosis
Echocardiography showed biventricular hypertrophy with preserved ejection fraction, restrictive physiology with elevated filling pressures, thickened interatrial septum and [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ventricular Septal Defect
With large VSDs the ECG shows biventricular hypertrophy (BVH) with or without LAH. [patient.info]
The electrocardiogram may show features of either left or right ventricular hypertrophy, but often shows features of biventricular hypertrophy (Figure 12 ). [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
With a moderate VSD, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and occasionally left atrial hypertrophy (LAH) may be seen. [patient.info]
Large Ventricular Septal Defect
With large VSDs the ECG shows biventricular hypertrophy (BVH) with or without LAH. [patient.info]
With a moderate VSD, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and occasionally left atrial hypertrophy (LAH) may be seen. [patient.info]

Patent Foramen Ovale
Although patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a relatively common condition, the risk of paradoxical embolism is less than 2% of all arterial ischemia. We present the case of a 52-year-old man diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism complicated with 2 events of paradoxical emboli in the left upper and right lower limbs[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
