• Mechanical stress promotes human ligamentum flavum cells (LFCs) to synthesize multitype collagens, leading to ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH). (hindawi.com)
  • LSS causes tremendous discomfort for patients, and LSS is often caused by ligamentum flavum hypertrophy (LFH) [ 4 , 5 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( HCM ) is a form of cardiomyopathy characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of a provoking disease like hypertension or aortic stenosis. (greek.doctor)
  • Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a subtype of HCM characterised by obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract due to excessive hypertrophy of the ventricular septum. (greek.doctor)
  • ECG shows signs of left ventricular hypertrophy and strain. (greek.doctor)
  • Echocardiography shows left ventricular hypertrophy, a septum which is thicker than the posterior wall, normal LV chamber size. (greek.doctor)
  • Because these ligaments lie in the posterior part of the vertebral canal, their hypertrophy can cause spinal stenosis, particularly in patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. (wikipedia.org)
  • Downsizing the molecular spring of the giant protein titin reveals that skeletal muscle titin determines passive stiffness and drives longitudinal hypertrophy. (arizona.edu)
  • Some studies indicate that the hypertrophy of these ligaments may be linked to a fibrotic process associated with increased collagen VI, which could represent an adaptive and reparative process in response to the rupture of elastic fibers. (wikipedia.org)
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( HCM ) is a form of cardiomyopathy characterised by left ventricular hypertrophy in the absence of a provoking disease like hypertension or aortic stenosis. (greek.doctor)
  • 1) Recent studies have elucidated that CaMKII plays a key role in modulating cardiac function and regulating hypertrophy development. (unideb.hu)
  • Triggering typical nemaline myopathy with compound heterozygous nebulin mutations reveals myofilament structural changes as pathomechanism. (arizona.edu)
  • Echocardiography shows left ventricular hypertrophy, a septum which is thicker than the posterior wall, normal LV chamber size. (greek.doctor)
  • 3) Inhibition of CaMKII activity has been shown to mitigate hypertrophy, prevent functional remodeling and reduce arrhythmogenic activity. (unideb.hu)
  • Accordingly, degenerative hypertrophy could be a protective mechanism against the disc degeneration typically found in patients with advanced age. (medscape.com)
  • One possible explanation to our apparently paradoxical findings could be the decreased lumbar spine instability in patients with advanced facet joint hypertrophy and large end-plate osteophytes, which in turn would provide pain relief and allow higher walking capacity. (medscape.com)
