The D Sign – Right Heart Strain from Pressure vs Volume Overload
WEBThe “D Sign” is an ultrasound/echo finding that shows the left ventricle as a D-shaped structure. It is a result of right ventricular overload causing a shift of the septum towards the left side of the heart. The “D-sign” can be the result of either right ventricular Pressure and/or Volume overload.
