Causes of right ventricular (RV) dilation and/or dysfunction

Causes of right ventricular (RV) dilation and/or dysfunction
Pressure overload Massive pulmonary embolism (acute)
Pulmonary hypertension (PH)
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension
- PH due to left heart disease
- PH due to lung disease and/or hypoxemia
- PH due to chronic thrombotic and/or embolic disease
- PH due to other causes
Pulmonary artery stenosis (supravalvular, branch, peripheral)
Pulmonary valve stenosis
Infundibular/subvalvular stenosis (including Tetralogy of Fallot)
Systemic right ventricle
Volume overload Atrial septal defect
Tricuspid valve regurgitation (including Ebstein's anomaly)
Pulmonary valve regurgitation
Anomalous pulmonary venous connections
Intrinsic pathology Right ventricular infarction (acute)
