Location:
The apex is located at the bottom of the right ventricular chamber inferior to the flow from the tricuspid valve. It is close to but separated from the left ventricular apex by the interventricular septal wall.

Importance in device delivery:
The right ventricular apex is the traditional location for ventricular packing leads. The trabeculations allow for either passive or active fixation leads to be easily implanted.

Localización:
El ápex o vértice se encuentra en la parte distal de la cámara del ventrículo derecho, inferior al flujo de la válvula tricuspídea. Está cerca pero separado del ápex del ventrículo izquierdo por el septo interventricular.

Importancia en implante de dispositivos:
El ápex del ventrículo derecho es la ubicación más frecuente de electrodos ventriculares. Las paredes trabeculadas permiten implantar y fijar fácilmente los electrodos ya sea de manera pasiva o activa.
