Myocardial fibrosis as an early manifestation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis is a hallmark of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and a proposed substrate for arrhythmias and heart failure. In animal models, profibrotic genetic pathways are activated early, before hypertrophic remodeling.

Association of obesity phenotypes with left ventricular mass index and left ventricular hypertrophy in children and adolescents

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
It has been argued that metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether, in a population of obese children/adolescents, the metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO ...

Soluble ST2 levels and left ventricular structure and function in patients with metabolic syndrome [PDF]

, 2016
Background: A biomarker that is of great interest in relation to adverse cardiovascular events is soluble ST2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin family.

Left ventricular hypertrophy in children, adolescents and young adults with sickle cell anemia

Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia, 2015
OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to estimate the frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy and to identify variables associated with this condition in under 25-year-old patients with sickle cell anemia.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed

Cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure: from the case to review of literature [PDF]

, 2016
In response to an increased workload due to physiological or pathological stimuli, the heart may undergo a process of growth with increased muscle mass called cardiac hypertrophy. It is a particular mechanism of long term compensation used by the heart

Ventricular androgenic-anabolic steroid-related remodeling: an immunohistochemical study [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Several fatal cases of bodybuilders, following a myocardial infarction after long exposure to androgenicanabolic steroids (AAS), are reported. In recent years, evidence has emerged of cases of heart failure related to AAS consumption, with no

Cardiovascular features of possible autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Low-grade incomplete post-dexamethasone cortisol suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas – recently defined as possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS) – has been associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality.

Gender differences in cardiac left ventricular mass and function: clinical and experimental observations [PDF]

, 2014
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate gender-associated impact on left ventricular mass (LVM) and on left ventricular function (LVF) in humans and rats with aging. Methods: Myocyte area and collagen volume fraction (CVF) were studied in rats.

Echocardiographic Evaluation of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can occur as a result of increase in the left ventricular (LV) wall thickness or increase in the LV cavity size, thus leading to increase in the LV mass. Strength training and aerobic exercise lead to physiological LVH,
