Meaning:
The chamber on the right side of the heart that receives venous blood from the right atrium and pumps it into the pulmonary trunk
Classified under:
Hypernyms ("right ventricle" is a kind of...):
heart ventricle; ventricle (a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps it to the arteries)
Context examples:
It causes arrhythmogenic right ventricle cardiomyopathy (ARVC), which is a genetic disorder that predisposes patients to cardiac arrest and is a major cause of unexpected death in seemingly healthy young people.
(Gene Causes Sudden Death in Young People, The Titi Tudorancea Bulletin)
This pattern emerges as a result of a defect in ion channel genes, resulting in atypical electrophysiological activity in the right ventricle and a propensity for malignant tachyarrhythmias.
(Brugada Syndrome Ventricular Arrhythmia by ECG Finding, NCI Thesaurus)
The right atrium receives venous deoxygenated blood from the entire body via the superior and inferior vena cavae and pumps blood into the right ventricle.
(Cardiac Atrium, NCI Thesaurus)
The hallmark pathological findings are progressive myocyte loss and fibrofatty replacement, with a predilection for the right ventricle.
(Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy Pathway, NCI Thesaurus/KEGG)
Surgery performed for the purpose of reducing regurgitation of the cardiac valve between the right atrium and right ventricle.
(Cardiac Tricuspid Valve Repair, NCI Thesaurus/ACC)
These defects include tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic left or right heart syndrome, double outlet right ventricle, double inlet left ventricle, and other forms of single ventricle defects.
(Common Ventricle Disorder, NCI Thesaurus)
An electrocardiographic finding of a wide QRS complex with evidence of delayed conduction to the right ventricle, manifested by a widened initial portion of the QRS in V1 and V2, a widened S wave in V5, V6, I and aVL, and with QRS duration less than 120 ms.
