Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...

Background and aims Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has various aetiologies, including genetic conditions like Fabry ...

Background: Atrial function is an integral part of cardiac function that is often neglected. The presence of left ventricule hypertrophy (LVH) due to arterial hypertension may impair atrial function.

Aim Differentiating physiological cardiac hypertrophy from pathology is challenging when the athlete presents with extreme anthropometry. While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular ...

and left ventricular hypertrophy, as well as other changes in the left ventricular wall that prolong relaxation of the left ventricle in diastole. There is a dropout of atrial pacemaker cells ...

It remains possible that calcineurin functions as a modulator of cardiac hypertrophy arising from less-common etiologies, such as endocrine or genetic disorders. However, ventricular hypertrophy ...
