The left ventricle needs to pump blood to circulate the whole body, so it would have to exert much more pressure in order to propel the blood farther. The right ventricle only pumps blood to the lungs to get re-oxygenated.

What is the ventricle?

The right and left ventricle almost have the same job. The left ventricle has a harder job then the right ventricle. The right ventricle only has to contract and blood is forced out of the heart through a large vessel. And then has to pump the blood into the lungs. The left ventricle has a lot harder job it actually works six times more harder then the right ventricle. The left ventricle has to pump blood through your WHOLE body. Yea it has a lot harder job. :)

What if one ventricle of the heart is larger than the other?

In a healthy person, the left ventricle should be slightly larger than the right ventricle. The left ventricle has to pump with enough force to eject blood through the entire body (except the lungs). The right ventricle, on the other hand, only needs to pump with enough force to eject blood to the nearby lungs. If you lift heavy weights with your left arm and light weights with your right arm, your left arm will become bigger than your right arm. In a similar manner, the left ventricle is larger than the right ventricle. Extreme differences beyond what is normal could signify a pathological condition that is causing more resistance to the flow of blood out of the heart. For example, if the right ventricle becomes much larger than what is typical, it could mean that the pulmonary valve is stenotic (acting like a kink in a hose). This added resistance to flow makes the right ventricle work harder. When a muscle works harder, it grows (hypertrophies) to compensate.
