Cardiomyopathy is a cardiovascular disease (CVD) characterized by weakening of the heart muscle. It encompasses a range of types, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and rest
Obesity has recently been recognized as a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, second only to cigarette smoking. Excess weight and obesity markedly increase the risk for hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure in both men and women. Populations ...
Asthma is an allergic airway disease in which type 2-mediated inflammation has a pathogenic role. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are type 1-dominant inflammatory diseases in which type 2 cytokines often have a protective role. However, clinical studies demonstrate that allergic asthma and associated ...
Cardiology and Cardiovascular MedicineBackground Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a myocardial disorder characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in the absence of another cardiac or systemic disease capable of producing the magnitude of LVH evident. HCM causes variable symptoms and is one ...
Is dilated cardiomyopathy the same as heart failure? Is CAD and hypertensive heart disease the same thing? Is pulmonary embolism a cardiovascular disease? Is rheumatic heart disease associated with systolic murmurs? Is heart disease a degenerative disease?
Is dilated cardiomyopathy the same as heart failure? Is cardiomyopathy curable? How is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed? Is valvular heart disease considered a cardiovascular disease? Is bicuspid aortic valve a congenital heart disease? Is congenital heart disease dominant or recessive? Is dilated car...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for most of the morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD increases the risk of CVD-related mortality even after controlling for traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypert
Background Sleep apnea(SA) is a common disorder in general population, especially cardiovascular disease(CVD) patients. However, its role in cardiomyopathy etiology is still unclear. Methods In this single-center observational study, we enrolled 2740 CVD patients consecutively from 2013 to 2016. Among...
postpartum. It is a special type of cardiomyopathy characterized by an enlargement of the heart, heart failure and arrhythmia. The causesvaryfromgenetic factors, infections, inflammation, toimmune damage. During the course of the disease, malignant arrhythmia, heart failure, and sudden death may ...
Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DbCM) has been defined as the presence of cardiac structural or functional abnormalities in diabetic patients in the absence of significant coronary artery disease, valvular disease, or other conventional cardiovascular risk factors [1, 2]. However, there is currently no ...
