A member asked:

Why would my dr office call and say echo is normal when the report says right ventricle dilated and rvdd at 4.7cm?had done due to chest discomfort

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Factors in Echo repo: Would advise contacting the cardiology office. If the patient had a 2D echo, the accuracy relies on the technician that performed the image, the person who read/interpreted the image and the accuracy of the software used. A mere tilting/angling the transducer can make a normal RV size appear larger. As so many factors are involved, contacting their specialty clinic would be recommended.
