The concentric hypertrophy is caused by?
Concentric hypertrophy involves thickness of the heart walls. The underlying cause for this condition is a heart that has been overworked due to high blood pressure (usually).
Is cardiac hypertrophy genetic?
Some cases of hypertrophy are due to genetics, while others are acquired later in life. The genetic form is called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, whose prevalence is 1/500 individuals. There are several causes, most (if not all) of which are due to defects in the genes that encode certain proteins that control contraction of heart muscle.Acquired cardiac hypertrophy usually refers to hypertrophy of the ventricles, most commonly the left ventricle. Left ventricular hypertrophy is most commonly due to excess work being placed on the left side of the heart. In the United States, a common source of this excess work is high blood pressure (hypertension).
What does ventricular hypertrophy mean?
It means enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart. This is due to excess work done by the heart as in high blood pressure, damage to the heart muscle after heart attack, valvular disease, respiratory disease putting extra strain to the heart.
Can left ventricular hypertrophy lead to heart failure?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can lead to heart failure. LVH occurs when the heart's left ventricle thickens in response to increased workload, often due to high blood pressure or other heart conditions. Over time, the thickened muscle may become stiff, impairing the heart's ability to pump effectively and leading to heart failure. Additionally, LVH can disrupt the heart's electrical system, increasing the risk of arrhythmias and further contributing to heart failure.
Which chamber of the heart is the largest due to it's ability to squeeze blood to the aorta and out to the body?
left ventricle
What is known as the enlargement in the bulk of an organ that is not due to tumor?
hypertrophy
What is biventricular hypertrophy and dilation?
To break down the terms: 1. Biventricular - both ventricles (lower chambers) of the heart which actively pump blood throughout the circulatory system 2. Hypertrophy - increase in cell size; the cardiomyocytes become larger than normal 3. Dilation - increase in the lumen size; the ventricles become 'stretched out' like a balloon Therefore, biventricular hypertrophy and dilation is where both ventricles of the heart become larger and have larger cells creating the walls. This is usually associated with severe congestive heart disease in humans.
Which method of training causes muscular hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy means swelling in individual cells due to exercises. Heavey lifting exercises & extensively lengthy exercises cause Hypertrophy. Also eating supplements such as Creatine, will also induce Hypertrophy.
Is a general increase in the bulk of a body part due to an increase in the size but not in the number of cells?
Hypertrophy
What is hyperactive precordium?
Hyperdynamic precordium is a condition where the precordium (the area of the chest over the heart) moves too much (is hyper dynamic) due to some pathology of the heart. This problem can be hypertrophy of the ventricles, tachycardia, or some other heart problem.Hyperdynamic precordium can also be due to Hyperthyroidism, and thus indicates an increased cardiac contractility, with increased Systolic Hypertension. It may also be due to aortic coarctation, and most other congenital heart malformations.
What action does an organ undergo to best describe the term hypertrophy?
Hypertrophy refers to the increase in size of an organ or tissue due to an increase in the size of its individual cells. This occurs in response to increased workload or stimulation, such as regular exercise causing muscle hypertrophy.
Could fluid build up in the lungs mean a congenital heart problem?
yes it could but most commonly it is only due to left ventricular hypertrophy rather than congenital heart problem. but if it is happening in baby, that is something that you want to put more attention to.
