Embryos from the folic acid diet MTHFR + / + group were delayed and the folic acid diet was associated
with thinner
ventricular walls in embryonic hearts.
27 percent reduction in conotruncal defects, or severe heart outflow tract abnormalities; 23 percent reduction in coarctation of the aorta — a narrowing of the major artery (the aorta) that carries blood to the body; 15 percent reduction in atrial and
ventricular septal defects — holes in the
wall separating heart chambers; however, no changes were seen
with regard to chromosomally associated defects — abnormality in the number of an infant's chromosomes.
For example, children
with ventricular septal defect, which causes a hole in the
wall between the lower ventricles of the heart, have a 10.5-fold greater risk of developing hepatoblastoma, a cancer of the liver.
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.
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.
Thickening of the
walls of the ventricle is associated
with a decreased
ventricular chamber volume and abnormal
ventricular relaxation (diastolic function) in cats
with HCM.
The site details the types of Paxil birth defects that have been seen, including atrial and
ventricular septal defects, or holes in the
walls of the chambers of the heart,
with symptoms sometimes so severe that they required surgery.
