Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic lung disease, particularly conditions such as pulmonary hypertension, can increase pressure in the lungs and cause the right ventricle of the heart to work harder to pump blood, leading to hypertrophy. Atrial fibrillation and heart attack may also contribute to right ventricular hypertrophy, but they are not the most common causes. Hypertension primarily affects the left ventricle.
