Basic Information

Grouped by core information, identifiers, and descriptions.

Current candidates are inferred from disease-target-ingredient-herb paths and do not represent a formal recommendation ranking.

Description: NCI2016_FDA_1602D:Enlargement or overgrowth of the myocardium of the right ventricle, due chronic pressure overload.|NCI2016_02D:Enlargement or overgrowth of the myocardium of the right ventricle, due chronic pressure overload.|MSH2017_2016_08_12:Enlargement of the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is often attributed to PULMONARY HYPERTENSION and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.|HPO2016_07_04:In this case the right ventricle is more muscular than normal, causing a characteristic boot-shaped (coeur-en-sabot) appearance as seen on anterior- posterior chest x-rays. Right ventricular hypertrophy is commonly associated with any form of right ventricular outflow obstruction or pulmonary hypertension, which may in turn owe its origin to left-sided disease. The echocardiographic signs are thickening of the anterior right ventricular wall and the septum. Cavity size is usually normal, or slightly enlarged. In many cases there is associated volume overload present due to tricuspid regurgitation, in the absence of this, septal motion is normal. [HPO:probinson]
