Yes, the pressure generated (under normal anatomic conditions, mind you) is higher in the left ventricle than the right. This is due to the higher systemic pressures being pumped against by the left ventricle, compared to the relatively low pulmonary vascular pressures opposing the right ventricular output.
My left atrium is enlarged and my left ventricular end diastolic pressure is 24 mmHg. >20 mmHg is considered diastolic heart failure. The high filling pressure in the left ventricle caused the left atrium to enlarge. I received my echo report saturday (in the mail) from 3 weeks ago, showing an enlarged left atrium.
