(1) The antioxidative properties of statins also prevent the development of cardiac and smooth muscle cell hypertrophy .(2) It leads to left ventricular hypertrophy and increased connective tissue content, both of which decrease cardiac compliance.(3) Many risk factors for coronary artery disease also are predictors of hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy , and diabetes mellitus.(4) There may be evidence of cardiac ischemia, ventricular hypertrophy , or pericardial disease.(5) Cardiac hypertrophy - the enlargement of the heart muscle cells - can be fatal.(6) the hypertrophy of the muscle fibres(7) Dobutamine is contraindicated in idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis.(8) After years of misdiagnosis, doctors finally realize she had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.(9) The right ventricle was markedly hypertrophied and dilated, consistent with severe cor pulmonale.(10) The most common anomalies are hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and coronary artery anomalies.(11) ‘In a majority of cases, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is inherited and develops over time, typically in the late teenage years,’ Kerber says.(12) Athletes with hypertrophied muscles may be prone to develop this problem if they have the underlying popliteal arterial anatomy.(13) This was confirmed at excision biopsy, which also identified the hypertrophied vessel cut during the procedure.(14) Patients with dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are at increased risk for perioperative heart failure.(15) No patients had anatomic abnormalities of the thoracic inlet, such as a hypertrophied scalenus anticus tendon or an obstructing tumor.(16) One factor pointing towards increased risk, in his case, was the fact that he had apparently a hypertrophied ventricle.
