Short-axis view of a transthoracic echocardiogram in a normal subject (a) and a patient with an acutely dilated right ventricle (RV) in the setting of high pulmonary vascular resistance (b). The intraventricular septum (IVS) is D-shaped in (b), reflecting the acute RV pressure overload in this patient, and marked enlargement of the RV in (b) compared with (a).
