2. Right heart strain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_heart_strain

   Right heart strain (also right ventricular strain or RV strain) is a medical finding of right ventricular dysfunction [1] where the heart muscle of the right ventricle (RV) is deformed. [2] Right heart strain can be caused by pulmonary hypertension, [3] pulmonary embolism (or PE, which itself can cause pulmonary hypertension [4]), RV infarction ...

3. Hypoplastic right heart syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoplastic_right_heart...

   When the right side of the heart is more underdeveloped than the left side, this is known as hypoplastic right heart syndrome. HRHS is known for the pulmonary valve, the tricuspid valve, right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery all failing to form properly. HRHS also causes the right ventricle to be a fair amount smaller than the left side. [3]

4. Pulmonary heart disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_heart_disease

   The pathophysiology of pulmonary heart disease (cor pulmonale) has always indicated that an increase in right ventricular afterload causes RV failure (pulmonary vasoconstriction, anatomic disruption/pulmonary vascular bed and increased blood viscosity are usually involved [1]), however most of the time, the right ventricle adjusts to an ...

5. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_ventricular_hypertrophy

   Right ventricular hypertrophy is the intermediate stage between increased right ventricular pressure (in the early stages) and right ventricle failure (in the later stages). [11] As such, management of right ventricular hypertrophy is about either preventing the development of right ventricular hypertrophy in the first place, or preventing the ...

6. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmogenic_cardiomyopathy

   The disease is a type of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy that primarily involves the right ventricle, though cases of exclusive left ventricular disease have been reported. It is characterized by hypokinetic areas involving the free wall of the ventricle, with fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium, with associated arrhythmias often originating ...

7. Tricuspid regurgitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_regurgitation

   Tricuspid regurgitation (TR), also called tricuspid insufficiency, is a type of valvular heart disease in which the tricuspid valve of the heart, located between the right atrium and right ventricle, does not close completely when the right ventricle contracts ().
