    Idiopathic myocarditis associated with such unusual features is relatively rare, and may present problems in differentiation from other congenital heart diseases causing dilatation and dysfunction of the right ventricle. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Infants, children and adolescents with congenital heart disease (CHD) are a challenge to manage and an ever-increasing number are reaching adulthood. [books.google.de]

    Causes of right chambers dilatation include pressure overload, volume overload, and myocardial dysfunction, which may be secondary to ischemic heart disease or to primary cardiomyopathies (mainly ARVC) (1). [escardio.org]

  • Right Ventricular Hypertrophy

    Objective: To investigate the sympathovagal balance in PH associated with right ventricular hypertrophy or right ventricular dilation. [jscimedcentral.com]

    Although right ventricular hypertension (consequent to pulmonary hypertension) leads to right ventricular hypertrophy and eventually right ventricular dilatation (RVD) with associated right atrial hypertension, or hypertrophy or dilatation, the eventual [academic.oup.com]

    Hypertrphy may also shift the electrical axis (to the right in right ventricular hypertrophy, and to the left in left ventricular hypertrophy). ST-T segment Significant hypertrophy may result in abnormal depolarization of the ventricular myocardium. [ecgwaves.com]

    In this study right ventricular hypertrophy was associated with LV hypertrophy in one- fifth of the patients. [medsci.org]

A triad of circulatory collapse, right ventricular dilatation, and large alveolar dead space is proposed for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of massive pulmonary embolism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract The prognosis of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) assessed right ventricular dilatation (RVD) is unclear in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) and a simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (sPESI) of 0. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) depends upon the functional capacity of the right ventricle. [jscimedcentral.com]

Our outcome figures suggest a guarded prognosis be given during counseling of parents of fetuses with right heart dilatation. [link.springer.com]

The study of life prognosis in patients with 2 forms of DCM showed that 5-year mortality of patients was about 50%. [ijbm.org]

The left ventricular compromise in the proband and in his father may have two different etiologies (in the case of the proband’s father DCM could be secondary to hypertension and valvular disease), but it may also be possible that they have a familial [escardio.org]

A systematic approach to define the etiology is essential for determination of the most effective treatment strategy. [emedicine.medscape.com]
