Are the thickest walls in the right atrium?

No, the thickest walls of the heart are found in the left ventricle, not the right atrium. The left ventricle has thicker walls because it has to pump blood to the entire body, requiring more muscular strength. In contrast, the right atrium has relatively thin walls, as it only receives blood from the body and pumps it into the right ventricle.


Where is the thickest wall of the heart located?

The left ventricle, being responsible for pumping the blood through the systemic circulation, generates the highest pressures. For this reason, the left ventricle has the thickest muscular walls.


What chamber of the heart has the thickest myocardium?

The Left Ventricle has the thickest walls! The left ventricular myocardium is much thicker then the right ventricular myocardium because the left ventricle pumps blood into the aorta which takes blood to the rest of the body. (larger pressure gradient)
