Abnormalities on Right Side of Heart May Indicate Lung Problems

When you suffer from a disabling condition that also prevents you from working, then you may qualify to receive Social Security disability benefits.

According to a report from Health Day, new research shows that abnormalities on the right side of the heart may also be an indication of lung problems. These abnormalities help to detect cardiovascular conditions but after performing the first large imaging study of the heart's right ventricle, they have discovered the potential to detect cardiopulmonary diseases.

Lung diseases such as sleep apnea, pulmonary fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary hypertension can affect the right side of the heart. This is because the right ventricle is responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, which aids in oxygen.

Researchers also discovered through this larger imaging of the right side of the heart, that the size of it varies according to an individual's race, gender and age.

The next step will be for researchers to analyze how the right ventricle changes through time for those with lung problems.
