A member asked:
What does significantly hypertrophied right ventricle 1.2mm mean and will i need surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertrophy: Right ventricular hypertrophy is caused by increased pressure to lungs. This can be caused by a primary lung problem or to the valve (pulmonic vlave). If a lung problem usually no surgery necessary, but if the valve is bad a procedure might be necessary.
