Methods: Moyamoya disease was described in a boy who presented with dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to hypertension due to bilateral renal artery stenosis. Results: An 8-year-old boy was admitted for the evaluation of abdominal murmur and hypertension. His weight and height were at 3rd percentile,...
The prognosis of dilated cardiomyopathy due to hypertension (HT-DCM) is surprisingly unknown, particularly in the absence of coronary disease and diabetes. We aimed at investigating the long-term outcome and the predictors of mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction exclusively du...
The previously discussed effects of intensive dialysis on reduction of hypertension and improvement in LV mass are encouraging, however it is still unclear as to whether this leads to better patient survival. A recent meta-analysis encompassing 70,506 patients found that intensive dialysis was associat...

Acromegaly has several cardiovascular manifestations of which cardiomyopathy (CMP) and hypertension (HTN) are important and contribute to the increased mortality associated with the disease. Both these manifestations are reversible with treatment. However, very advanced CMP with severe systolic dysfunction ha...
Acute renal hypertension was produced in Sprague-Dawley female rats by the AL between the origins of the renal arteries. These were compared with an LN group. A sham group in which the ligature was placed but not tied was also prepared. MAP was recorded, and the animals were sacrificed at...
Hypertrophy, in general, is recognized as a compensatory thickening of the left ven- tricle wall that occurs as a physiologic response to either excessive hemodynamic burden (such as pressure or vol- ume overload due to hypertension and aortic valve disease) or a pathologic state that compromises...

This term refers to diseases of cardiac muscle when ischaemia, hypertension, valvular disease and inflammation have been excluded.Geneticinfluences are important. 3 main forms are recognised: 1. Dilated (congestive)Cardiomyopathy This is an uncommon condition which is familial in a minority of cases ...
