| right ventricular volume overload | <radiology> Atrial septal defect, partial/total APVR, tricuspid insufficiency, pulmonary insufficiency, congenital/aquired absence of pericardium, Ebstein anomaly (not truly RV) (12 Dec 1998) |
| right whale | <zoology> The bowhead, Arctic, or Greenland whale (Balaena mysticetus), from whose mouth the best whalebone is obtained. Any other whale that produces valuable whalebone, as the Atlantic, or Biscay, right whale (Balaena cisarctica), and the Pacific right whale (B. Sieboldii); a bone whale. <zoology> Pygmy right whale, a small New Zealand whale (Neobalaena marginata) which is only about sixteen feet long. It produces short, but very elastic and tough, whalebone. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| middle lobe of right lung | It is located anteriorly between the horizontal and oblique fissures and includes lateral and medial bronchopulmonary segments. Synonym: lobus medius pulmonis dextri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of right branch of portal vein | <anatomy, vein> Posterior segmental branch of portal vein; branch to posterior segments of right lobe of liver. Synonym: ramus posterior rami dextri venae portae hepatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of right hepatic duct | Hepatic duct branch draining bile from posterior segments of right lobe of liver. Synonym: ramus posterior ductus hepatici dextri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior branch of right superior pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> Drains posterior portion of superior lobe of right lung. Synonym: ramus posterior venae pulmonalis dextrae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heart bypass, right | Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance to the right atrium directly to the pulmonary arteries, avoiding the right atrium and right ventricle. This a permanent procedure often performed to bypass a congenitally deformed right atrium or right ventricle. (12 Dec 1998) |
| horizontal fissure of right lung | The deep fissure that separates the upper and middle lobes of the right lung. Synonym: fissura horizontalis pulmonis dextri, horizontal fissure of right lung, minor fissure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| shift to the right | In a differential count of white blood cells in the peripheral blood, the absence of young and immature forms. Synonym: deviation to the right. See: maturation index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypertrophy, right ventricular | Enlargement of the right ventricle of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is often attributed to pulmonary hypertension and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hypoplasia of right ventricle | Failure of development of the right ventricle resulting in its having little muscle and much connective tissue instead of the reverse. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deviation to the right | In a differential count of white blood cells in the peripheral blood, the absence of young and immature forms. Synonym: deviation to the right. See: maturation index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| double outlet right ventricle | <cardiology, embryology> Incomplete transposition of the great vessels in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise from the right ventricle, often associated with a subaortic ventricular septal defect. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infralobar part of posterior branch of right pulmonary vein | <anatomy, vein> The vein draining the posterior segment of the right lung that emerges inferior to the superior lobe; tributary to the posterior branch of the right superior pulmonary vein. Synonym: pars infralobaris rami posterioris venae pulmonalis dextrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
