Cardiomyopathy

Management,” discusses the significance of early recognition and treatment of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). In addition, the journal provides information about the role rhythm plays in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and ventricular arrhythmias. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the leading monogenetic cardiomyopathy. HCM has a prevalence of 1:500 (Ali, 2018). Localization and severity of hypertrophy dictate whether HCM patients may suffer from ventricular outflow tract obstruction, mitral regurgitation

Background: Familial Cardiomyopathies (FC) are a collection of cardiac diseases that vary vastly genetically, and pathologically (1, 2). Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common form of FC (2). HCM is diagnosed often with left ventricular hypertrophy without a noticeable increase in external load and smaller ventricular cavity, but with a preserved ejection fraction (3). That is, the percent of blood leaving the left ventricle (5) does not change. Other pathologies include interstitial

myomectomy) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, HCM is a cardiac disorder with a genetic etiology, characterized by hypertrophy of the myocardium It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the affected population. Both men and women are affected equally and people of any age and race are at risk of developing HCM. It is the most common cause of sudden cardiac death SCD in young adults, especially athletes. Description of the disorder Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by interventricular

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, also known as the disease of the sarcomere, is a common inherited heart disease with a diverse phenotypic and genotypic expression, clinical presentation, and natural history. It is the most common genetic cardiac disease and the first to be associated with a genetic background. It is caused by more than 1,500 mutations in 11 or more genes encoding thick and thin contractile myofilament protein components of the sarcomere, or adjacent Z-disc, which are expressed almost

Mr. Rodriquez’s health history is limited to hypertension. The second candidate, Mr. Smith, is an uninsured 59-year-old on disability who has severe ischemic cardiomyopathy (causing systemic failure). His other medical history includes hypertension, renal insufficiency, alcohol abuse, and coronary artery disease that caused two previous myocardial infarctions. A person’s age and their lifestyle can impact overall

This is a structural abnormality of the heart where one or more of the chambers becomes affected. While there are three different types of cardiomyopathy the one associated with taurine deficiency is known as dilated cardiomyopathy which is characterized as enlarged heart chambers and a reduction in contraction ability. Symptoms of this disease include loss of appetite, weakness and depression. DCM, if left untreated, can lead to more

Palpitations Hemoptysis, Chest pain, Abdominal pain The differential diagnosis includes the following:  Aortic Stenosis –Cardiomyopathy  Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy  Cocaine Cardiomyopathy  Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy  Restrictive Cardiovascular Disease and Pregnancy

Demographic Paper Pekin Illinois is a relatively small community located in Central Illinois half way between St. Louis and Chicago. It boasted a total community population of 33857 during the last census period of 2008. The total population consisted of roughly a 50/50 male to female ratio with a median age of 37.1 and represented 94.4% Caucasian, 2.4% African American, 1.9% Hispanic and 1.1% Asian races. Due to this population mix many of the culturally and racially indicated diseases states,

Introduction A qualitative study of the psychological experience of patients during and after mechanical cardiac support by Hallas, Banner, and Wray (2009), is a study that evaluated the psychological adjustment and quality of life of patients being treated for end stage heart failure with ventricular support assist device (VAD) in situ compared with patients who underwent heart transplantation or had the VAD removed. This critique will appraise the author’s presentation of the elements of the research
