Left ventricular apical hypertrophy in a transplanted heart: a case report Uzochukwu Ibe1*, Kathir Balakumaran2 and Sabeena Arora3 Abstract Background: Left ventricular apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a rare presentation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy associated with thickening of the apical segment of the left ventricle. It was initially

intervals, 0.9 to 8.2) for cardiac mortality. Therefore, left ventricular hypertrophy appears to be an important, independent, determinant of survival in patients receiving therapy for end-stage renal failure. Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important marker of risk for death and other adverse events in patients with hyperten-

Hypertension, Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Sudden Cardiac Death in Scuba Diving By Petar J. Denoble, MD, DSc Introduction Cardiac disease is associated with 20-30% of fatalities amongst recreational divers.15, 39 In most cases the scenario of death fits the description of sudden cardiac death (SCD)20, 21 which is also one of the most common

ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). LVH and LVD are more likely to be present in patients with chronic hypertension, known coronary artery disease, or history of stroke. LVH and LVD can be diagnosed utilizing echocardiography or another suitable cardiac imaging modality.

consequence of increased cardiac demand, thereby representing a basis of comparison for pathologic conditions, such as valvar heart disease, anemia, or hypertension. The term physiologic hypertrophy has therefore been generally applied to the increase in left ventricular mass that occurs in response to repetitive physical exertion.

hypertrophy with mesoventricular obstruction and the presence of an apical aneurysm with a thrombus. Its contribution to the ecocardiographic diagnosis consisted in the detection of the right ventricular hypertrophy. The occurrence of a left ventricular aneurysm in pa-tients with cardiac hypertrophy, in the absence of coronary
From Left Ventricular Hypertrophy to Dysfunction and Failure
eft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is growth in left ventricular (LV) mass caused by increased cardiomyo - cyte size.1 The process is compounded by a complex series of transcriptional, signaling, structural, electrophysio-logical and functional events that affect all the cardiac cell types.2–4 LVH can be a physiological adaptation to strenuous ...
New approaches to the assessment of left ventricular ...
Abstract: In hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy is initially a useful compensatory process that represents an adaptation to increased ventricular wall stress; however, it is also the first step toward the development of overt clinical disease. For this reason most international guidelines recommend the assessment of cardiac target ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), defined by an increase in left ventricular mass (LVM), is a common cardiac disorder with an estimated echocardiographic prevalence of 36–41% in patients with hypertension, which increases with age, hy-pertension severity and obesity.1–3) LVH can be …

disease. Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an important mechanism of cardiovascular disease in individu-als with CKD. Elevated levels of FGF23 have been linked to greater risks of LVH and mortality in patients with CKD, but whether these risks represent causal effects of FGF23 is unknown. Here, we report that elevated
Left ventricular hypertrophy in experimental chronic ...
Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) increases the risk of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD). The transcription factor Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) is expressed in the heart and regulates cardiac remodelling through inhibition of hypertrophy and fibrosis. It is unknown if KLF15 expression is changed in CKD induced LVH, or whether

Left ventricular hypertrophy – a thickening of the heart muscle surrounding the left ventricle, resulting in a greater mass of the heart. Left ventricular mass index – a measure of left ventricular weight adjusted for body size that derived by dividing LV mass by some a body size parameter (e.g. body surface area, height) to account for

Echocardiography has played a central role in the evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function over the past two decades. Alterations in diastolic function may be transient (eg acute ischemia) or persistent (myocardial necrosis, left ventricular hypertrophy or myocardial infiltration).
