How to assess the right ventricle

Dr Marcus Peck, a consultant intensivist based in Firmley Park Surrey. He gives us an insight into how to assess the right ventral of the heart, which is the lower right chamber of the heart that receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium and pumps it under low pressure into the lungs via the pulmonary artery. During this live video demonstration Dr. Peck is able to walk us through step by step to help us identify what to look for in each picture and if we see something different. He names various common problems such as obstructed right ventricle and how the ventricle will behave rather differently or an acutely overloaded ventricle compared to a chronic overloaded ventricle with pressure and how the thickness of the walls will impact this, he also notes the best way to check for either of these conditions.
