Cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that prevents the heart muscle from functioning normally. Some forms of cardiomyopathy are associated with an enlargement and weakening of the heart muscle. Other forms are associated with a stiffening of the heart muscle so that it can’t relax and fill with blood effectively. In both cases, the blood isn’t

of the heart is also adversely affected. The main feature of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an excessive thickening of the heart muscle (hypertrophy literally means to thicken). Thickening is seen in the ventricular septal measurement (normal range .08-1.2mm) and in the weight of the heart. In

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy — a thickening of the heart muscle — can obstruct the flow of blood to the body and is associated with disturbances in the heart’s electrical signals. It is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes and is among the more common inherited cardiovascular diseases, affecting

HCM also may cause thickening in other parts of the heart muscle, such as the bottom of the heart called the apex, right ventricle, or throughout the entire left ventricle. Stiffness in the left ventricle occurs as a result of cellular changes that occur in the heart muscle when it thickens.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy - Symptoms, Tests, Treatments
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). In less than 10% of patients, the disease may progress to a point where the heart muscle thins and the left ...
What is Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM)?
primary disorder of the heart muscle characterized by thickening of the left ventricle. 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).
Understanding Feline Cardiomyopathy
in thickening of the heart muscle, specifically the main pumping chamber of the heart (left ventricle). This thickening (called hypertrophy) can impair the relaxation of the heart and cause secondary enlargement of the top chamber on the left side of the heart (left atrium). This can lead to congestive heart failure, clot formation and

Cardiomyopathies in Cats, Including Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) Cardiomyopathy is disease of the heart muscle and feline heart disease is common. An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) is often required to confirm if disease is present and to classify the disease so that treatment can be optimized. Feline cardiomyopathies are
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Guide
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex type of heart disease. This condition can include: •Abnormal thickening of the heart muscle (especially the ventricles – the lower chambers of the heart) •Stiffness of the heart muscle •Mitral valve changes •Heart muscle cells that are disorganized and irregular (myocardial disarray)

up the heart muscle lie in smooth, straight lines, as shown in diagram A below. But in people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the cells lie in disorganised, jumbled layers (known as myocardial disarray), as shown in diagram B below. The heart muscle can also become scarred. The thickening and scarring of the muscle makes the heart muscle stiff.
