Introduction
Pregnancy is a process that causes several physiological changes
including all systems as well as cardiovascular system. Ventricular
hypertrophy and dilation of cardiac chambers are seen as a result of
these changes. Although there are studies about pregnancy-related
changes in echocardiographic examination; there is no data about the
long-term effects of parity on these alterations. Therefore, we have
evaluated the long-term effect of pregnancy on right ventricular (RV)
dilation and RV hypertrophy and their relation to the parity number.
