because less pressure is needed to pump the blood to the lungs as oppose to the left side which has the duty of pumping the blood to the body. and also due to the fact that the blood coming to right side of the heart from the body very low pressure

∙ 14y agoThe left side of the heart, around the left ventricle, consists of thicker cardiac muscle relative to that of the right ventricle because it is there where blood has to be pumped a greater distance. Blood leaves the left ventricle in the aorta, which heads to all cells of the body, as far as the tips of our toes. Consequently, blood needs to be pumped at greater velocities and pressures, so a thicker wall is needed to cope with it.

∙ 13y agoThere is no reason. Because it's the LEFT wall of the heart that's thicker. The left side of the heart has to pump blood throughout the whole body, whereas the right side only pumps it to the heart. Hence, the left has a thick muscular wall around it.
