„Erler-Zimmer GmbH & Co. KG 3D model of right ventricular hypertrophy:

Model code: MP2031
Clinical History
- This 56-year-old woman had emphysema and complained of increasing dyspnea on exertion associated with recurrent attacks of bronchitis. On examination, she had a blood pressure of 160/90 mm Hg, a pulse of 96 beats/min, and 6 cm of jugular venous congestion. The apex was nonpalpable, bilateral bruit was heard, and bruits were noted in the peripheral tissues. Special investigations: ECG showed a right-sided load pattern. Arterial blood work showed respiratory acidosis. Despite treatment, there was steady deterioration and death.
Pathology
- The specimen is the outer surface of the heart, viewed from the anterior aspect. The right ventricle is greatly dilated and hypertrophied. Everything else appears normal. This is an example showing right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) in a patient with emphysema.
Additional Information
- Right ventricular hypertrophy is most often caused by chronic lung disease or structural heart defects. One of the most common causes of right ventricular hypertrophy is pulmonary hypertension (PH), which is caused by increased pressure in the pulmonary artery. As the right ventricle tries to compensate for this increased pressure, it changes its shape and size, causing hypertrophy and thickening of the right ventricular wall. The worldwide prevalence of PH is 4 cases per 1 million people: right ventricular hypertrophy occurs in approximately 301% of these cases. The most common causes of PH include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, and other restrictive lung diseases. Right ventricular hypertrophy also occurs in response to structural heart defects, such as tricuspid regurgitation, which allows blood to back up into the ventricle. Other structural defects that cause right ventricular hypertrophy include tetralogy of Fallot, where the ventricular wall is perforated, pulmonary valve stenosis, and atrioventricular defects. Right ventricular hypertrophy is also associated with abdominal obesity and high systolic blood pressure.
