Question 1

Rule out right ventricular hypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

An ekg should shows signs of ventricular hypertrophy but to get the best information an echocardiogram should be done.

Question 2

What causes right ventricular hypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Any process that provokes a chronic pressure overload to the right ventricle can do this. Examples are pulmonary hypertension and pulmonic stenosis,

Question 3

What to do if right ventricular hypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

Every finding such as RVH requires an etiologic diagnosis. That is 'why do you have RVH?'  If real right ventricular hypertrophy is present there should be an explainable cause and then the cause may require treatment.

Question 4

Is right ventricular hypertrophy a rare condition?

Accepted Answer

to the left side.

Question 5

I have mild right ventricular hypertrophy. what type of exercise i can and can not do? how often?

Accepted Answer

Need to know more to advise but half hour daily walk is a good start.

Question 6

Does patent foramen ovale cause right ventricular hypertrophy? if so why?

Accepted Answer

Pfo per se doesn't cause right ventricular hyopertrophy unless until there is any associated pulmonary valvular/ sub or supra valvular stenosis.

Question 7

I have had 5 ecg's in the past, i had another one today, but this one said "consider right ventricular hypertrophy" could it be wrong? really worried.

Accepted Answer

ECG's are now automatically read by a machine which prints out an interpretation to a pattern.  The patterns reflect the integrity of the electrical system of the heart.  At your age,  and normal  ECG's  you need to consider other non cardiac reasons for chest pain such as  gastric reflux, gas, abdominal pain.  RVH is a person your age is rare.  Get a consult from a good cardiologist.

Question 8

They did an ecg and on the report it says "left atrial abnormality", "sinus rhythm", "probable right ventricular hypertrophy" am i safe? should i worr

Accepted Answer

This are changes observed in particular leads and not absolute but suggestive (depending on the criteria). 
Left Atrial abnormality maybe is suggesting hypertension or another etiology that increased pressure. this could be backing up to the RV and cause hypertrophy.

If that is the case you would Short of breath or have some difficulty breathing. More info needed to answer properly

Question 9

Hadca ecg today says comparing to 2/19/18 right ventricular hypertrophy now present  says right vcd or rvh whst does it mean real difficulty breathing?

Accepted Answer

RVH or right ventricular hypertrophy can be caused by when the right ventricle has increased work and becomes enlarged which can be caused by several different things such as pulmonary hypertension, heart abnormality from birth such as tetralogy of Fallot, sickle cell anemia, chronic lung diseases/COPD, pulmonary valve stenosis, cardiac fibrosis, pulmonary emboli.  Seek treatment & evaluation asap

Question 10

Hadca ecg today says comparing to 2/19/18 right ventricular hypertrophy now present  says right vcd or rvh what does it mean real difficulty breathing?

Accepted Answer

The combination of RVH and shortness of breath, in the absence of valvular or congenital heart disease, is characteristic of chronic pulmonary disease or idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. A cardiologist is best to first evaluate and advise you. Referral to a pulmonologist may be made if chronic pulmonary disease,like fibrosis, is felt to be the primary problem.
