See cardiologist: Rvh (right ventricular hypertrophy), occurs when the right ventricle of the heart is subjected to extra work . The rv pumps blood into the pulmonary circuit . If there are lung issues or if a congenital heart condition exists that increases flow into the rv - lung circuit (like a septal defect) or increases the workload of the rv (obstruction from pulmonic stenosis or pulm emboli) RVH occurs.
