Cor pulmonale (C0034072)

Definition (MSHCZE) Hypertrofie a rozšíření pravé srdeční komory je způsobeno plicní hypertenzí. Tento stav je často spojen s plicním parenchymálním nebo vaskulárním onemocněním, jako např. PLICNÍ NEMOC CHRONICKÁ OBSTRUKČNÍ a PLICNÍ EMBOLIE.
Definition (CSP) heart disease due to pulmonary hypertension secondary to disease of the lungs, or its blood vessels, with hypertrophy of the right ventricle.
Definition (MSH) Hypertrophy and dilation of the RIGHT VENTRICLE of the heart that is caused by PULMONARY HYPERTENSION. This condition is often associated with pulmonary parenchymal or vascular diseases, such as CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE and PULMONARY EMBOLISM.
