An axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron. Myelinated axons are called nerve fibers. Dysfunction of axons can lead to neurological disorders affecting both peripheral and central neurons. Axons are one of two types of protrusions from a neuron, the other being dendrites.

An axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron. Myelinated axons are called nerve fibers. In sensory neurons with pseudounipolar nuclei, the electrical impulse travels from the periphery to the cell body along one axon and from the cell body to the spinal cord along another branch of the same axon.

Dendrites are short extensions from neuron cell bodies, specialized for receiving stimuli and producing action potentials. Axons, or nerve fibers, are long extensions with the axon hillock and initial segment serving as the trigger zone for generating action potentials.

A neuron's axon tip ends in terminal buttons, serving as the location for action potential transmission.

The passage discusses the typical arrangement of neuron communication at synapses, where signals are sent from an axon to a dendrite.

An axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron. Myelinated axons are called nerve fibers. If axons are damaged, they can regenerate and reconnect with other neurons, as long as the cell body (soma) remains undamaged, with the assistance of guidepost cells.

A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that typically transmits signals from its axon to a dendrite of another neuron. However, there are exceptions such as neurons without dendrites or axons, and synapses connecting axons or dendrites directly.

The neuron's chemical impulses are initiated at the axon hillock, which acts as a control center for processing incoming signals from other neurons and starting the impulse propagation.

The passage discusses two topics. The first is axons, which are part of neurons and facilitate the transmission of impulses away from the cell body. Impulses reach the end of the axon at the terminal arborization, where they are transmitted to other nerve cells or effector organs. Larger axons are protected by a myelin sheath. The second topic is the vertebral column.

Axons are typically covered by myelin, a fatty material that facilitates fast transmission of action potentials between neurons. Myelin's absence results in slow signal transmission and conditions like multiple sclerosis.

The passage describes two types of cardiomegaly, or enlarged heart conditions. In the first type, the ventricles' walls thin and stretch, leading to an enlarged heart. This is often caused by hypertrophy, which is usually not inherited. In contrast, the second type of cardiomegaly is characterized by an abnormally thick left ventricle, typically caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an inherited condition

The passage discusses ventricular hypertrophy, specifically mentioning thickening of the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) and the occurrence of this condition in both the left and right ventricles, as well as in both ventricles simultaneously.

The passage encourages subscribing to a Heart-Healthy Living e-newsletter for heart-related information. It mentions left ventricular hypertrophy as a condition characterized by the enlargement and thickening of the left ventricle's walls, which is the heart's main pumping chamber.

High blood pressure can lead to the left ventricle's enlargement and subsequent heart muscle weakening. It may also cause the upper chambers of the heart (atria) to enlarge.

A study in the journal Circulation discovered that right ventricular hypertrophy is linked to an elevated risk of heart failure and cardiovascular death in individuals without prior diagnosed heart disease.

Ventricular hypertrophy refers to the thickening of heart ventricle walls, which can affect the left, right, or both ventricles. Left ventricular hypertrophy is more common than right or biventricular hypertrophy.

The treatment for left ventricular hypertrophy focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause to reduce heart enlargement, preserve heart function, and prevent muscle damage.

The heart muscle thickens over time due to increased pressure in the blood vessels, leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) where the left ventricle enlarges and cardiac output decreases. If left untreated, this condition can result in heart failure.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a concern when the muscle thickness exceeds 3 cm or obstructs blood flow through the heart by increasing outflow pressure gradient.

Summary: Athletic hypertrophy is a type of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) found in highly trained athletes due to intense, sustained heart rate. Unlike other forms of LVH, this condition regresses when athletes return to normal activity levels.

The right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs for oxygenation, and hypertrophy in this chamber can be caused by several factors.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a condition characterized by myocardial hypertrophy exceeding 1.5 cm, without an identifiable cause. It's essential to rule out other causes of left ventricular hypertrophy, such as long-term hypertension, amyloidosis, and aortic stenosis, before diagnosing HCM.

During campaigns, prolonged marches can cause heart dilatation and hypertrophy. Adhesion of the pericardium and valvular disease are additional causes of hypertrophy, both resulting in circulation interference.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is the most common type, causes of which are often unknown. It may be caused by ischemic heart disease, infections, toxins, certain drugs, or inherited. This condition enlarges the left ventricle. Cardiovascular disease generally refers to damage to the heart or blood vessels due to atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty plaques in arteries.

The passage emphasizes the need to consider the context of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), including the patient's history and examination, when interpreting an ECG result. LVH is defined as abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, but the ECG should not be the sole basis for diagnosis.

The heart's pumping ability decreases as enlargement progresses, leading to two main types of cardiomegaly: dilated cardiomyopathy and left ventricular enlargement (hypertrophy). In dilated cardiomyopathy, the ventricles' walls thin and stretch, resulting in an enlarged heart. Hypertension typically causes left ventricular hypertrophy, while hypertrophic cardiomyopath

The left ventricle's gradual weakening and high blood pressure can lead to heart failure. To effectively pump against high blood pressure, the heart increases pressure inside the left ventricle during each pump.

Tetralogy of Fallot and other disease states involve increased pressures on the ventricles, leading to ventricular hypertrophy as a compensatory response. In the case of tetralogy of Fallot, a septal defect allows the right ventricle to be exposed to the high pressures of the left heart.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a type of cardiomegaly characterized by thin and stretched ventricle walls leading to an enlarged heart. In contrast, other types of cardiomegaly involve abnormal thickening of the left ventricle, often caused by hypertrophy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is an inherited condition that results in thickened ventricle walls.

Aortic insufficiency leads to heart overload, resulting in increased preload due to elevated pulse pressure and neuroendocrine hormones, causing left ventricular hypertrophy. Additionally, the pressure overload from increased stroke volume contributes to elevated afterload.

An enlarged heart, specifically the left side, is a common cause of heart failure due to increased workload. The right side of the heart receives returned blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs, while the left side receives blood from the lungs and pumps it throughout the body. The left side enlarges when blood pressure is high, a condition known as left ventricular hypertrophy or LVH.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heart condition characterized by thickened heart muscles. Symptoms include chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fainting. The condition can also affect the mitral valve and cause blood leakage. Two types exist: obstructive, where blood flow is blocked, and non-obstructive. HCM is a leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young people and athletes.

The passage discusses various related topics for the medical condition of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, including Ventricular Hypertrophy, Left Ventricle, Heart, Heart Symptoms, Heart Disease, and Heart Disorder.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an enlargement of the left side of the heart, which pumps blood throughout the body. The left side of the heart works harder than the right side due to circulating blood pressure, leading to LVH as a result. Individuals with high blood pressure and an enlarged left ventricle face a four-fold increased risk of heart attack compared to those with normal-sized hearts and the same blood pressure

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart muscle in the lower chambers and septum thicken without an apparent cause, leading to enlargement.

The passage describes two types of cardiomegaly, a condition where the heart becomes enlarged. In one type, the walls of the left and right ventricles in the heart become thin and stretched, leading to an enlarged heart. The other type results from the left ventricle's muscular wall becoming abnormally thick, typically due to hypertrophy.

Aortic valve stenosis leading to left ventricular hypertrophy may necessitate surgical intervention for valve repair or replacement. Schedule an appointment at Mayo Clinic for further evaluation and treatment.

The passage discusses two unrelated topics with the same abbreviation, LVH. The first is Lycée Victor Hugo for French schools. The second is Left Ventricular Hypertrophy, a condition characterized by thickening of the left ventricle heart muscle.

Untreated RVH (RV hypertrophy) can result in a weakened heart or heart failure. This condition involves the muscle thickening around one of the heart chambers, leading to reduced elasticity and increased workload for the heart to efficiently pump blood to essential organs.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) results in repolarization abnormalities resembling Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB), featuring ST elevation in leads with deep S-waves (V1-3) and ST depression/T-wave inversion in leads with tall R waves (I, aVL, V5-6).

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) refers to the thickening of the left chamber of the heart, which may impair its pumping efficiency. Symptoms are not always present but can include shortness of breath, chest pain, and heart palpitations.

The passage describes two types of cardiomegaly, a condition where the heart becomes enlarged. In one type, the ventricles' walls thin and stretch, leading to an enlarged heart. The other type results from the left ventricle's abnormal thickening, typically caused by hypertrophy.

This passage discusses the potential causes of the most common type of cardiomyopathy, which can include reduced blood flow to the heart (ischemic heart disease), infections, toxins, certain drugs, and inheritance from a parent. The condition typically enlarges the left ventricle.

Dilated cardiomyopathy can have an idiopathic cause or be caused by various factors such as genetics, congenital heart defects, infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic), and drug or alcohol abuse.

The left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, enlarges first in response to increased pressure. This leads to gradual enlargement of the left atrium. Enlargement of the left atrium due to elevated pressure is linked to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

The treatment for left ventricular hypertrophy hinges on the underlying cause and may involve medication or surgery. For high blood pressure, doctors usually suggest lifestyle modifications such as:

(No need to include the repetition of "Your doctor is likely to recommend" or "may involve" in the summary.)

Right ventricular hypertrophy refers to the enlargement or increase in size of the right ventricle of the heart. Symptoms include edema in the ankles, legs, and feet, shortness of breath, and chest pain in severe cases. A chest x-ray can help diagnose this condition and identify underlying causes.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is often inherited due to gene mutations in heart muscle proteins, but can also result from high blood pressure, aging, or diseases like diabetes or thyroid issues with the cause being unknown in some cases.

The enlarged left ventricle can weaken, stiffen and lose elasticity, obstructing proper filling and increasing heart pressure. It can also compress the chamber's coronary arteries, reducing blood supply. These changes may lead to complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias, and increased risk of stroke.

The passage discusses heart hypertrophy, a condition characterized by the thickening of the heart muscle. This thickening can occur due to increased blood pressure, requiring the heart to work harder, or valvular problems, particularly a narrowed aortic valve.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can lead to obstruction of blood flow from the heart's left ventricle, resulting in a pressure difference between the heart and the aorta.

The passage describes how healthy cardiac hypertrophy, also known as physiologic hypertrophy or athlete's heart, is the result of exercise or pregnancy, leading to an increase in the heart's muscle mass and pumping ability. Trained athletes can have a left ventricular mass that is up to 60% greater than that of untrained individuals.

Right ventricular hypertrophy is a condition where the right ventricle, the heart chamber responsible for pumping blood to the lungs, thickens due to increased pressure or decreased pulmonary circulation. This can occur when blood flow from the heart to the lungs is impaired, leading to extra stress on the right ventricle.

Asymmetric septal hypertrophy, also known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, is a heart condition where heart muscle cells enlarge, resulting in thick and stiff walls of the lower heart chambers, particularly the left ventricle.

The passage discusses heart hypertrophy, or the thickening of the heart muscle, often caused by high blood pressure. This condition, explained by Dr. Oz in a video, results from the heart working harder to pump blood, leading to muscle thickening and stiffness.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heart disease causing heart muscle thickening, particularly in the ventricles, leading to left ventricular stiffness and reduced ability to fill with blood, resulting in insufficient oxygen-rich blood supply to organs and muscles.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common condition where heart muscle cells enlarge, causing ventricle walls, particularly the left ventricle, to thicken. It affects people of all ages, with equal prevalence in men and women, and is a leading cause of sudden cardiac arrest in young individuals, including athletes.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is often inherited due to gene mutations in heart muscle proteins, but can also develop from high blood pressure, aging, or diseases like diabetes or thyroid issues. The cause is unknown in some cases.

Some cases with less severe right ventricular hypertrophy had more advanced left ventricular hypertrophy, with left ventricular wall thickness ranging from 15 to 20 millimeters in these cases. One case did not show left ventricular hypertrophy.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a heart condition that can be inherited or developed due to high blood pressure, aging, or other diseases like diabetes or thyroid disease, caused by mutations in heart muscle protein genes.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common heart condition affecting approximately 1 in every 500 people, regardless of age or gender. Symptoms include chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fainting. The condition can also impact the heart's mitral valve, causing leakage, and may result in non-obstructive HCM, where the thickened muscle doesn't hinder blood flow

The cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, the most common type of cardiomyopathy, can be unknown or due to ischemic heart disease, infections, toxins, certain drugs, or inheritance. It primarily affects the left ventricle by enlarging it.

The right side of the heart receives blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs, while the left side receives the blood from the lungs and pumps it throughout the body. An enlarged heart is a leading cause of heart failure.

Hypertension can stem from increased cardiac output or peripheral resistance. Expansion of blood volume leads to higher cardiac output. Possible causes of hypertension include heart failure, renal failure, strokes, impaired vision, and hypertrophy of the left ventricle. Hypertension can result from these conditions due to increased cardiac output caused by expanded blood volume.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a condition characterized by an enlargement of heart muscle, specifically the left ventricle and interventricular septum. This can impact the blood flow between atria and ventricles or from ventricles outwards.

The passage discusses the diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) through electrocardiography (ECG), highlighting the use of various criteria sets to improve sensitivity and specificity. However, no single criteria set is perfect for this diagnosis.

Dr. Bott-Silverman explains that various causes of right ventricular hypertrophy can be treated if identified. While there may not be a reversal, further damage can be prevented. Right ventricular hypertrophy is the end result of multiple heart-related issues.

Secondary mitral insufficiency results from left ventricle dilatation, leading to mitral valve annulus stretching and papillary muscle displacement. Causes of left ventricle dilatation include aortic insufficiency, non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, and noncompaction cardiomyopathy.
