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 amount of blood being pumped out into the body when the heart contracts during the...
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...
Presently, there is no cure for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats. Changes to the size and structure of the heart muscle are irreversible. The longer HCM is allowed to go untreated, the more severe any changes become. However, in some cases where the heart disease is secondary to a treatabl...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease with left ventricular hypertrophy caused by mutations in the genes of myocardial contractile proteins, whose frequency is about 0.5 %. Due to the high incidence of anginal pain and marked changes in ECG with HCM, the problem of diagnosing the combina...
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 ...
(Medical Xpress) -- It may be easier in the future to test and potentially provide early treatment for the one in 500 people affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Heart disease in young people is always alarming, if not devastating: Sometimes without sign or symptom, people in their 30s and...
