Medical - Medical: Cardiology | | German term or phrase: flüssigkeitsbelastet | From an echocardiography report
Herzhöhlen noch normal dimensioniert. Flüssigkeitsbelasteter LV. [...] Kein PE, bds. kleine PLE (je 2cm)
I've not seen this before, and I can't quite imagine what they are describing here... |

It's either volume or pressure overload. pressure overload usually leads to concentric hypertrophy, while volume overload leads to dilatation and chamber enlargement.
