Although left ventricular hypertrophy ( LVH ) is more common, right ventricular hypertrophy ( RVH ) can also occur, as can hypertrophy of both ventricles, that is, biventricular hypertrophy ( BVH ).
22.
It may also show whether there is thickening of the heart muscle ( left ventricular hypertrophy ) or whether the heart has experienced a prior minor disturbance such as a silent heart attack.
23.
Effects mediated by the AT 2 receptor are suggested to include inhibition of cell growth, fetal tissue development, modulation of extracellular matrix, neuronal regeneration, apoptosis, cellular differentiation, and maybe vasodilation and left ventricular hypertrophy.
24.
An electrocardiogram ( ECG / EKG ) may be used to identify arrhythmias, ischemic heart disease, right and left ventricular hypertrophy, and presence of conduction delay or abnormalities ( e . g . left bundle branch block ).
25.
TGFbeta mediated activation of p38 MAPK decreases KLF15 permitting the upreg of myocardin and stimulate the expression of serum response factor target genes, such as atrial natriuretic factor eventually leading to left ventricular hypertrophy which often progresses to heart failure.
26.
:Here's a short-term one : marathon runners and other endurance athletes sometimes develop left ventricular hypertrophy, where the left ventricle of their heart grows abnormally powerful ( to assist them in their exercise ); this changes their cardiac rhythm, but is perfectly healthy.
27.
In fact, many cross sectional studies have shown that " target-organ damage ( as exemplified by left ventricular hypertrophy ) is less in white-coat hypertensive patients than in sustained hypertensive patients even after the allowance has been made for differences in clinic pressure ".
28.
Typical findings in aortic stenosis include a narrow pulse pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, a harsh late-peaking crescendo-decrescendo ejection systolic murmur heard best at the right second intercostal space with radiation to the carotid arteries, and a delayed slow-rising carotid upstroke ( pulsus parvus et tardus ).
29.
A study of 10, 333 volunteers provides evidence for what doctors have long assumed to be true : Blood-pressure medicine reduces the prevalence of high blood pressure and of a heart problem called left ventricular hypertrophy and may in part explain the 50 percent decline in heart disease deaths since 1950.
30.
Local production of angiotensin II in various tissues, including the blood vessels, heart, adrenals, and brain, is controlled by vessels and the development of target organ damage ( i . e . left ventricular hypertrophy, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, stroke, end-stage kidney disease, myocardial infarction, and arterial aneurysm ) in hypertensive persons.
