Left ventricular hypertrophy among black hypertensive patients: focusing on the efficacy of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor in patients with essential hypertension. The main objective of this study was to assess the echocardiographic prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in ...

Autopsy findings in cases of fatal COVID‐19 vaccine‐induced myocarditis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract COVID‐19 vaccines have been linked to myocarditis, which, in some circumstances, can be fatal. This systematic review aims to investigate potential causal links between COVID‐19 vaccines and death from myocarditis using post‐mortem analysis.

Frataxin deficiency alters gene expression in Friedreich ataxia derived IPSC‐neurons and cardiomyocytes

Molecular Genetics &Genomic Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
FA is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, but the primary cause of death is heart disease which occurs in 60% of the patients. Several functions of frataxin have been proposed, but none of them fully explain why its deficiency causes the FA phenotypes nor why the most affected cell types are neurons and cardiomyocytes.

Diagnostic Efficacy of Electrocardiography in Determining Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients with Essential Hypertension

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2004
A total of 37 hypertensive patients of both sexes over 18 years of age and more than four years of duration after diagnosis and only those having evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) by echocardiography (ECHO) were enrolled to analyze the ...

Discovering new hub genes of dilated cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has a poor prognosis and exhibits a complex and diverse aetiology and genetic profile. The genes responsible for the pathogenesis of DCM have not been fully identified. The present study aimed to explore new hub genes of DCM by mining the human DCM databases and further by experimental validation.

The demanding grey zone: Sport indices by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy from athlete's heart.

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundWe aimed to characterize gender specific left ventricular hypertrophy using a novel, accurate and less time demanding cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) quantification method to differentiate physiological hypertrophy and hypertrophic ...

Comparative study of the clinical and echodopplercardiographic aspects of left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in cats (Felis catus).

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine, 2019
The aim of the present study was to differentiate hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) from concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (CLVH) and to compare their echodopplercardiography measurements in random bred domestic cats.

A two phase harmonic model for left ventricular function [PDF]

arXiv, 2006
A minimal model for mechanical motion of the left ventricle is proposed. The model assumes the left ventricle to be a harmonic oscillator with two distinct phases, simulating the systolic and diastolic phases, at which both the amplitude and the elastic constant of the oscillator are different. Taking into account the pressure within the left ventricle,

UTILITY OF QRS ISOINTEGRAL MAPS IN LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY [PDF]

, 2015
Cardiac hypertrophy is an increase in the mass of the heart because of the enlargement of existing muscle fibres. It can be diagnosed in different ways including electrocardiographic body surface mapping.

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.
