    or not steroids increase the size of the heart. Studies have been done on steroid using athletes compared to non-drug users. These studies found left ventricular hypertrophy and normal diastolic function with the non drug users. Concentric hypertrophy with impairment of diastolic function was found in the drug users. An increase in left ventricular mass with normal diastolic function was found in body builders and weight lifters using steroids (6). When athletes participate in resistance training

    weakness direct affect muscle function and cause disease. With the cellular study, it could better explain how the glucose pathways affect cardiac energy use and phenotype development. If the left ventricular hypotrophy phenotype has directly connect with glucose intake, then with this study, LBW ventricular muscle can be more sensitive to the signal pathway

    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 septal hypertrophy (in absence of other cardiovascular

    Morganroth’s hypothesis (Naylore 2012). He said that athletic hearts had morphed into something stronger. He concluded that athletes exercising developed cardiac hypertrophy. Our research made us more aware of the factors that could cause an athlete’s heart to recover faster than a non-athlete. Some of the factors we found were: hypertrophy, strength trained heart, and endurance trained heart. These factors could help determine why we concluded the results that we found. We concluded that the in-season

    showed increased cardiac left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic pressure, decreased LV compliance, and low LV ejection fraction with diffuse hypokinesis, suggestion that the characters in diabetic cardiomyopathy are cardiac hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis and associated reduced LV compliance and diastolic dysfunction [3]. Clinically, the cardiac dysfunction in diabetic cardiomyopathy progresses from the normal heart to subclinical cardiac abnormalities such as LV hypertrophy and diastolic systolic

    cardiac muscle or pericardial diseases etc.3 The understanding of the mechanistic details that drive the progression of heart failure is not well understood but molecular and cellular changes point towards the role of neuro-hormonal activation and ventricular remodeling as primary determinants.4 The sequential and progressive upregulation of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system, increased levels of norepinephrine and endothelin-1 play a significant role in the progression of LV dysfunction.

    Subject- Cardio Myopothy Introduction: describe nature of Disorder Cardiomyopathy (i.e. "heart muscle disease") is the failure of the heart muscle - myocardium for whatever reason and there are many different reasons. Cardiomyopathy may be dangerous since victims of this disease are at risk of certain cardiac rupture as well as irregular heartbeat. In fact, Cardiomyopathy is one of, if not the most, dangerous disease that is connected to the heart. (Adelmann 2010). Common symptoms of Cardiomyopathy

    In this case, cardiac adaptation offers the cardiac protection to all the major deleterious consequences of acute oxygen deficiency. Furthermore, other adaptive responses to chronic hypoxic adaptations include hypertrophy of the right ventricle and hypoxic pulmonary hypertension as a result of pressure-overload and vasoconstriction that could lead to congestive heart failure during severe hypoxia (Sano et al., 2007). Since fetal environment corresponds to

    the heart occurred during gestation .A normal heart consists of four chambers of cardiac muscle cells, four heart valves, an electrical pathway, and its own blood supply. The chambers are the Right Atrium (RA) , Right Ventricle ( RV), Left Atrium,(LA) , and the Left Ventricle ( LV). The blood flows from the Vena Cava to the RA thru the Tricuspid Valve to the RV. It then gets ejected thru the Pulmonary Valve into the Pulmonary Artery, and on into the lungs. It returns to the LA, goes thru the Mitral

    explain how the heart works. The heart has two sides, the left and the right, which are separated by the septum. Each side has an atrium and a ventricle with valves separating them (to prevent blood from flowing backwards) (Atria and ventricles are chambers of the heart). They are also connected to various arteries (blood vessels that transport blood away from the heart) and veins (blood vessels that transport blood towards the heart). The left side of the heart receives the blood coming from the lungs
