Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic in Dogs Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a rare form of heart muscle disease in dogs. It is characterized by a thickening of the walls of the heart, which leads to an inadequate

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a myocardial disease defined by an increased left ventricular wall thickness not solely explained by abnormal loading conditions. It is often genetically determined, with sarcomeric gene mutations accoun...
Chinese researchers have made significant strides in treating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a condition that has posed a global health challenge since the late 1950s. Their breakthroughs have garnered worldwide attention and recognition. For nearly four decades, there has been a dearth of specifi...
Heart disease in cats is a life threatening condition if left untreated, however treatment options are available and early detection is key. Learn more.
Heart disease can be treated using medications, surgery, and lifestyle changes. Take a look at which option might be right for you.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited cardiovascular disease with heterogeneous clinical presentations, governed by multiple molecular mechanisms. Metabolic perturbations underlie most cardiovascular diseases; however, the metabolic alterations and their function in HCM are unknown. Here, we de...
atrial (LA) deformation is a sensitive marker of diastolic dysfunction in hypertrophic phenotypes. However, there is little data about the impact of hypertension on LA function; furthermore, LA deformation in hypertensive heart ...
I’ve just heard that my best friend has heart disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I don’t know exactly what it is and how much is it dangerous, but I noticed that he is very worried about that. He is very young and I’m surprise that he can have such disease. What causes ...
Common causes of systolic dysfunction are post-MI, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis. • Causes of diastolic dysfunction are hypertensive cardiovascular disease, restrictive cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease (see Heart Failure, Diastolic in Section I). ...
