Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

Is right ventricular hypertrophy a rare condition?

Accepted Answer

to the left side.

Question 6

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 7

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 8

I had an ecg, it said on the report *consider right ventricular hypertrophy? but i had an echo and it was normal soo the ecg was wrong yes?

Accepted Answer

Computerized reading  can often over read the ECG have an expert read them when in doubt

Question 9

My bf ekg resulted in probable intraventricular conduction delay and right ventricular hypertrophy on lead 1. should i be worried?he is 24 and athleti

Accepted Answer

In a young person, an ECG may show those findings (especially with an automated interpretation program) and still be normal, though the possibility of a congenital heart problem or elevated pressure in the lung circulation cannot be ruled out.  Best thing to do is to talk to his doctor, consider getting an echocardiogram with doppler pressures, and if that is abnormal, see a cardiologist.

Question 10

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
