Thickening of heart muscle wall
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy | Cleveland Clinic: Health Library
filling prevents the heart from pumping enough blood, especially during exercise. Although HCM can involve both lower chambers, it usually affects the main pumping chamber (left ventricle) with thickening of the septum (wall separating the pumping chambers), posterior wall or both. With hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM), the muscle ...

and particularly the septum (area of muscle in the middle of the heart, which separates the right and left sides). However, it can also affect the right ventri-cle. The average thickness of the left ventricle wall in an adult is 12mm, but in HCM the thickness is 15mm or more. The thickening of the muscle …

What is hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy? The hearT and hearT muscle the heart is an organ with two sides, right and left, separated by a wall called the septum. each side is divided into an upper chamber (atrium) and a lower chamber (ventricle). the walls between the chambers, and the outer walls of the heart, are all made of muscle.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disorder of the muscle cells of the heart, producing overly thick areas in the chamber walls. The most commonly affected areas of the heart are the apex of the heart and the central column of muscle (called the septum) with or without thickening of the posterior wall …
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guide
This thickening causes the heart to not be able to relax normally when filling with blood. Over time this can lead to elevated pressures within the heart and ultimately congestive heart failure (fluid accumulation). Some cats with HCM will also have an obstruction to blood flow that is associated with the thickened muscle wall that can cause a ...
hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
the muscle wall (septum) that separates the two lower chambers of the heart is thickened. There are different types of heart muscle thickening patterns. Asymmetric septal hypertrophy is when the septum is thicker than the rest of the wall; concentric hypertrophy is when the thickening is evenly distributed in the entire ventricle; and apical ...

heart (myocardial disarray), leading to excessive thickening of the heart walls. Typically, the portion of the muscle mass that is thickest is in the heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle) with the muscle wall that separates the heart’s chambers (septum) affected most often. This condition is referred as “asymmetric septal
HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
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
Understanding Feline Cardiomyopathy
The muscle surrounding the left ventricle is the area commonly affected. Sometimes the muscle around the right ventricle is also affected. The degree of thickening may vary in different places. For example, the wall dividing the right and left ventricle (the septum) is often the area with the greatest thickening. In about 1 in 4 people the ...
