Physiological versus pathological left ventricular hypertrophy
Athletes commonly develop what is regarded as a benign increase in cardiac mass in response to physical training. However, prolonged training may lead to a degree of cardiac remodeling that mimics hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can be defined echocardiographically as a left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) of greater than 12mm. A LVWT of 12-16mm represent...
متن کاملEchocardiographic diVerentiation of pathological and physiological left ventricular hypertrophy
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a serious condition, strongly associated with the development of coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, cardiac failure, sudden cardiac death, and overall mortality. In addition, regression of left ventricular hypertrophy is associated with reduction in all cause and cardiovascular mortality. The existence, therefore, of left ventricular hypertrophy in...

متن کاملChronic Akt blockade aggravates pathological hypertrophy and inhibits physiological hypertrophy.
The attenuation of adverse myocardial remodeling and pathological left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is one of the hallmarks for improving the prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI). The protein kinase Akt plays a central role in regulating cardiac hypertrophy, but the in vivo effects of chronic pharmacological inhibition of Akt are unknown. We investigated the effect of chronic Akt blockade...
متن کاملPhysiological left ventricular hypertrophy.
Echocardiograms were recorded in 154 active athletes (from various sports) and 21 ex-athletes and compared with those in 40 normal control subjects (non-athletes). Diastolic cavity dimension and posterior wall and septal thickness were measured and left ventricular mass and the ratio of posterior wall thickness to cavity radius and of septum to posterior wall thickness calculated. As a group at...
