    • Gallbladder Wall Thickening

      Systemic diseases that may cause diffuse wall thickening include heart and renal failure, liv-er dysfunction, portal venous hypertension, and sepsis. Other causes of diffuse wall thickening include infiltrative processes, such as gallblad-der carcinoma, and hyperplastic changes, as seen in adenomyomatosis, although these may

      thickening of the septum (wall separating the pumping chambers), posterior wall or both. With hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the muscle thickening restricts the flow of blood out of the heart. Often, leakage of the mitral valve causes the blood in the lower chamber (left ventricle) to leak back into the upper chamber (left atrium).

      Thickening of the heart muscle (myocardium) occurs most commonly at the septum. The septum is the muscular wall that separates the left and right side of the heart. Problems occur when the septum between the heart’s lower chambers, or ventricles, is thickened. The thickened septum may cause a narrowing that can block or reduce the blood
