Ventricular hypertrophy

Ventricular hypertrophy (VH) is thickening of the walls of a ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. Although left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is more common, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), as well as concurrent hypertrophy of both ventricles can also occur. Ventricular hypertrophy can result from a variety of conditions, both adaptive and maladaptive. For example, it occurs in what is regarded as a physiologic, adaptive process in pregnancy in response to increased blood volume; but can also occur as a consequence of ventricular remodeling following a heart attack.

Ventricular remodeling

In cardiology, ventricular remodeling (or cardiac remodeling) refers to changes in the size, shape, structure, and function of the heart. This can happen as a result of exercise (physiological remodeling) or after injury to the heart muscle (pathological remodeling). The injury is typically due to acute myocardial infarction (usually transmural or ST segment elevation infarction), but may be from a number of causes that result in increased pressure or volume, causing pressure overload or volume overload (forms of strain) on the heart.

Arrêt cardiorespiratoire

vignette|Réanimation cœur-poumon sur un mannequin, durant des entraînements. L'arrêt cardiorespiratoire (ACR) est l'arrêt de la circulation du sang et de la respiration chez un individu. Actuellement, le terme utilisé est plutôt arrêt cardiaque ou arrêt circulatoire. L'arrêt cardiaque a un pronostic catastrophique mais l'amélioration de celui-ci est principalement dépendant de la mise en place d'une chaîne de soins adaptés (appel des secours via par exemple le 15, le 112 ou le 911) et surtout de la réalisation immédiate par les premiers témoins d'une réanimation adaptée par compressions thoraciques (massage cardiaque) et de la mise en place d'un défibrillateur automatique externe (DAE).

Novel theory and potential applications of central diastolic pressure decay time constant

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Patrick Segers, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos

Central aortic diastolic pressure decay time constant ( ) is according to the two-element Windkessel model equal to the product of total peripheral resistance (R) times total arterial compliance (C ). As such, it is related to arterial stiffness, which has ...

Effect of the structural modification of Candesartan with Zinc on hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Augusto Martins Lima, Valeria Romina Martinez

Hypertension is the most common cause of left ventricular hypertrophy, contributing to heart failure progression. Candesartan (Cand) is an angiotensin receptor antagonist widely used for hypertension treatment. Structural modifications were previously perf ...
