    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Right ventricular enlargement (RVE) is a significant clinical finding.
    • It involves dilation and hypertrophy of the right ventricle.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To summarize the key features of RVE.
    • To highlight diagnostic indicators and treatment principles.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical definitions and diagnostic criteria for RVE.
    • Analysis of electrocardiographic (ECG) manifestations associated with RVE.

    Main Results:

    • RVE is characterized by right axis deviation on ECG.
    • Prominent S waves in left precordial leads are indicative of severe RVE.

    Conclusions:

    • ECG findings are crucial for identifying RVE.
    • Effective management of RVE necessitates addressing the underlying etiology.
