Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biventricular dilation is typically seen in the context of congestive cardiomyopathy, which occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid accumulation in the lungs and/or other parts of the body. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy involves thickening of the heart muscle, while restrictive cardiomyopathy involves stiffening of the heart muscle. Inflammatory cardiomyopathy refers to damage to the heart muscle caused by inflammation. While these conditions can cause dilation of the ventricles as a secondary effect, they are not typically associated with biventricular dilation as a primary finding.
