Giant right ventricle secondary to severe pulmonary hypertension.
To cite: Jha KK, Subedi N, Prasad Chaudhary D, et al. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2016-218277 DESCRIPTION A man aged 64 years presented to emergency department with chest pain and shortness of breath. On cardiac auscultation, he had loud P2 and parasternal heave; however, lung auscultation was normal. Bilateral lower limb pitting oedema was pr...

CMAJ • FEBRUARY 23, 2010 • 182(3) © 2010 Canadian Medical Association or its licensors E147 An 84-year-old woman with a history of atrial fibrillation presented with cough, lethargy and symptoms of progressive heart failure. She had not seen a physician for many years, despite persistent symptoms. Physical examination showed an elevated jugular venous pressure, a grade 2/6 holosystolic murmur a...
متن کاملThe right ventricle in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a right heart failure syndrome. In early-stage PAH, the right ventricle tends to remain adapted to afterload with increased contractility and little or no increase in right heart chamber dimensions. However, less than optimal right ventricular (RV)-arterial coupling may already cause a decreased aerobic exercise capacity by limiting maximum cardiac outpu...
متن کاملGiant pulmonary artery aneurysm secondary to primary pulmonary hypertension.
A 19-year-old woman with a 2-year history of progressive dyspnea, dull aching chest pain, and hoarseness was referred to our institution for clinical evaluation. Her general physical examination was normal. Auscultation revealed a palpable systolic impulse in the 2nd left anterior intercostal space and a grade 2/6 systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border. Her chest radiograph showed car...
متن کاملBiochemical and myofilament responses of the right ventricle to severe pulmonary hypertension.
Right ventricular (RV) failure is one of the strongest predictors of mortality both in the presence of left ventricular decompensation and in the context of pulmonary vascular disease. Despite this, there is a limited understanding of the biochemical and mechanical characteristics of the pressure-overloaded RV at the level of the cardiac myocyte. To better understand this, we studied ventricula...
