Sentences with phrase «ventricular wall»

In middle aged and older cats with HCM, secondary systemic causes of left ventricular wall thickening should be excluded such as systemic hypertension and hyperthyroidism.

However, the end - stage of the disease frequently results in ventricular wall thinning, as well as decreased myocardial contractility and severe left atrial enlargement.

HCM is diagnosed once other secondary causes of left ventricular wall thickening (hypertrophy), such as hyperthyroidism, systemic hypertension, aortic stenosis and others have been ruled out.

DCM is characterized by dilation of the ventricles with ventricular wall thinning.

Treatment has been shown to increase left ventricular wall thickness and improve cardiac output, increasing the ability to engage in high intensity exercise (which is beneficial for both heart health and the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland).

If you chose medical management, your veterinarian will prescribe medications including a beta - blocker which can potentially decrease myocardial oxygen demand and reduce ventricular wall stress.

Left ventricular wall diameter: 60.1 mm before surgery; 53.7 mm after surgery.)

The thickened left ventricular walls become less flexible which prevents the left ventricle from relaxing or stretching sufficiently to fill with blood from the left atrium.

Early treatment is aimed at helping the overly stiff ventricular wall muscles relax properly between heart beats and / or to slowing the heart beat to allow for better filling between contractions and for better blood flow to the heart muscle itself.

Cardiac dilation, decreased oxygen supply, and increased oxygen demand secondary to elevated heart rate and ventricular wall stress may predispose to the development of cardiac arrhythmias arising in either the atria (atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia) or in the ventricles (ventricular premature complexes, ventricular tachycardia).

Embryos from the folic acid diet MTHFR + / + group were delayed and the folic acid diet was associated with thinner ventricular walls in embryonic hearts.

HCM is typically characterised by thickening of the left ventricular walls.

Ferrets are prone to both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is a thickening of the ventricular walls, and dilated cardiomyopathy, which is a stretching and thinning of the ventricular walls.

Regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn over the liver, right and left renal cortices, left ventricular wall, and wall of ascending and descending colonic segments.

This unusual thickening of the heart muscle primarily occurs within the ventricular walls of the heart.

HCM is diagnosed by echocardiography, which shows the characteristic thickening of the left ventricular walls and decreased chamber volume of the left ventricle.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy is defined as a hardening of the ventricular walls which as a result makes it difficult for the heart to continue to pump blood effectively.
