Figure 1.
ECG: normal sinus rhythm, mild tachycardia at 102 beats per minute, right axis deviation, poor R-wave progression, right ventricular hypertrophy, and right bundle branch block. Signs of right ventricular strain, including ST depression and T-wave inversion in V2-5

Figure 2.
Echocardiography, 4 Chambers view showing sever RT ventricular dilatation, basal diameter is 5.6 cm (normal 3.29± 0.47 cm), right atrial dilatation and flattening of the interventricular septum

Figure 3.
Apical four chamber view with continuous waver Doppler interrogation across the tricuspid valve. The Peak Velocity is 5.14m/s. The estimated pressure gradient between the RT atrium and RT ventricle is 105.53 mmHg. Adding to this the right atrial pressure will give the estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure
