Right Ventricular Dimensions and Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion among Medical Students of Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

INTRODUCTION: The change in morphology and functions of the right ventricle is an important predictor of heart and lung disease. There is limited data on the normal dimension of the right ventricle. The study aimed to find the right ventricular diameter, its thickness, and tricuspid annular plane sy...

description INTRODUCTION: The change in morphology and functions of the right ventricle is an important predictor of heart and lung disease. There is limited data on the normal dimension of the right ventricle. The study aimed to find the right ventricular diameter, its thickness, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in healthy male medical students of a tertiary care hospital. METHODS: It is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in healthy medical students of Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital, from February-April, 2019. Ethical approval was taken from the institutional review committee (reference number 120720193). Convenient sampling method was used. We measured various dimensions of the right ventricle in different views. The data was analyzed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. RESULTS: In the 96 male students included in the study, the mean right ventricular basal diameter was 36.45±3.49 mm, right ventricular mid cavity diameter was 29±3.63 mm, right ventricular longitudinal dimension was 65.72±7.52 mm, right ventricular outflow tract in parasternal long-axis view was 27.07±2.12 mm, proximal and distal right ventricular outflow in parasternal short-axis view was 25.33±2.57 mm and 20.08±1.99 mm, right ventricular thickness was 4.20±0.54 mm, and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion was 23.02±3.54 mm. CONCLUSIONS: The study found that the values of right ventricular dimensions and the right ventricle's tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion among male medical students of a tertiary care hospital to be in accordance with the guidelines by the American Society of Echocardiography. The upper limits of the normal values of the right ventricle could be very helpful in clinical practice in determining the right ventricle dimension.
