A member asked:
I was told my my dr that an ultrasound showed an enlarged right ventricle. however, he didn't explain what that meant. what is it exactly ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's big: This means the ultrasound was looking at a chamber of the heart and it is dilated for some reason. Without knowing your full history, this can be caused by many things. Speak with your cardiologist and they can best give you more information on the likely cause.
