Sustained exposure to pathological stress stimulates the heart to hypertrophy, increasing disease and mortality risk. New therapies to blunt this process include targeting enzymes below the cell ...
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 ...
Another active area of research in the laboratory focuses on unraveling the mechanisms behind maladaptive, or pathological, and adaptive, or physiological, cardiac hypertrophy. In response to certain ...
Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the ...
Obesity significantly impacts cardiovascular health, increasing risks such as left ventricular hypertrophy, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. Pharmaceuticals play a crucial role in addressing these ...
