What Does "enlarged Hyperplastic Ventricle" Mean?
Question: ECG shows enlarged (hyperplastic ventricle) and fluctuation in "p" wave. The latter has been around for a long time. New symptoms are difficulty in filling my lungs and increased fatigue. What do you suggest?
Brief Answer:
Congestive cardiac failure
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir ,
I have carefully read your query and understand your concern.
Enlarged left ventricle can lead to impaired pumping efficiency of heart .
This causes relative pooling of blood in the ventricle leading to its regurgitation into the left atrium situated above .
This excessive back pressure is now transmitted into the lungs causing congestion of blood leading to increased breathlessness and fatigue.
Compensatory Enlargement of left ventricle contribute to 'p' wave fluctuations on EKG.
These pattern of events reflect the onset of Congestive Cardiac failure-CCF, most likely to secondary to underlying long term hypertension or lung disease.
I hope this info is helpful to you ,
Thank you
