Abstract

[Right ventricular systolic overload refers to an overload of systolic pressure in the right ventricle and it indicates a right ventricle that pumps more than the normal 30 mmHg while developing systolic pressure. This hemodynamic situation appears in the following conditions: All congenital heart defects that obstruct right ventricular outflow, i.e. significant or critical pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary atresia, and Tetralogy of FallotCongenital heart defects causing pulmonary hypertension from a high pulmonary blood flow with low pulmonary vascular resistance, for example a large ventricular septal defect, double-outlet right ventricle, complete form of atrioventricular septal defect, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainageCongenital heart defects complicated by pulmonary artery hypertension due to progressive structural abnormalities in the pulmonary vascular bed, i.e. obstructive pulmonary vascular disease.]
