Aim Differentiating physiological cardiac hypertrophy from pathology is challenging when the athlete presents with extreme anthropometry. While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...
Another active area of research in the laboratory focuses on unraveling the mechanisms behind maladaptive, or pathological, and adaptive, or physiological, cardiac hypertrophy. In response to certain ...
Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the ...
The following is a summary of “Role of glucocorticoid receptor expression in Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy: implications for ...
Cardiac hypertrophy is the abnormal enlargement, or thickening, of the heart muscle, resulting from increases in cardiomyocyte size and changes in other heart muscle components, such as ...
High-intensity exercise raises sudden cardiac death risk in young hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, independent of ...
The study links exertional heat stroke to chronic disorders, revealing impacts on body mass regulation and heart health, ...
A recent study validated new thresholds for left ventricular hypertrophy to improve both HCM diagnosis and timely treatment of HCM.
