Ventricular hypertrophy

    • Ventricular Structure and Function

      eft ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is a frequent finding in echo-cardiography and an ongoing diagnostic challenge. Early diagnosis is important because treatment options and prognosis strongly depend on the underlying pathology and predominant cause. Common diseases associated with symmetrical concen-

      Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most commonly encountered heart disease in cats. This disease is characterized by an abnormal thickening (hypertrophy) of one or several areas of the walls of the heart, usually of the left ventricle. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is also present in humans and is caused by a variety of genetic anomalies

      Left ventricular hypertrophy is enlargement and thickening (hypertrophy) of the walls of your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle). Left ventricular hypertrophy can develop in response to some factor — such as high blood pressure or a heart condition — that causes the left ventricle to work harder.
