Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the ...

It remains possible that calcineurin functions as a modulator of cardiac hypertrophy arising from less-common etiologies, such as endocrine or genetic disorders. However, ventricular hypertrophy ...

Cytokinetics, Inc. (CYTK), a biopharmaceutical company focused on muscle biology, on Monday announced the launch of the AMBER-HFpEF ...

Background and aims Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has various aetiologies, including genetic conditions like Fabry ...

The toxicity of amiodarone relegated it to second-line therapy, except for patients with substantial left ventricular hypertrophy or heart failure. This treatment approach is well suited to AF ...

Background: Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function that is often neglected. The presence of left ventricule hypertrophy (LVH) due to arterial hypertension may impair atrial function.

Aim Differentiating physiological cardiac hypertrophy from pathology is challenging when the athlete presents with extreme anthropometry. While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular ...

ECG plays an important role in detection of several stroke risk factors/predictors including atrial fibrillation and left ventricular hypertrophy; both are components of the Framingham Stroke Risk ...

Modern tools for fluid management in patients on dialysis, including lung ultrasound and echocardiography, can help achieve ...
