recognition of the natural history and responsible leading factors for regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation are very important. the aim of this study was to assess the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after successful renal transplantation among uremic patients. in this study 27 uremic patients (18 males and 9 females) with an average age o...

objective(s):to examine the expressions of cd11a, cd11b, and cd11c integrins in the myocardial tissues of rats with isoproterenol-induced myocardial hypertrophy. this study also provided morphological data to investigate the signal transduction mechanisms of myocardial hypertrophy and reverse it. materials and methods: a myocardial hypertrophy model was established by subcutaneously injecting i...

conclusions according to our multimodality imaging approach, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was the most probable diagnosis. case presentation we describe a 73-year-old woman referred to us for consultation because of a giant negative t wave on her electrocardiography. echocardiography revealed diffuse severe hypertrophy associated with hypertrophied anterolateral papillary muscles with a bifid he...

introduction: hypertrophied tonsils and adenoids may cause upper airway obstruction and cardio-pulmonary complications due to pulmonary arterial hypertension. the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mpap) and selected adenotonsilar hypertrophy indexes. materials and methods: thirty two patients with upper-airway obstruction resulting from...

Background: Aldosterone has been assumed to be implicated in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Preventing the progression of LVH in the early period of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) can increase patient survival. In this study, therefore, we analyzed the relationship between aldosterone level and LVH in ESRD patients who underwent hemodialysis at Fatemeh Zahra Hospital and Imam Khomeini Hosp...

The Proteus syndrome comprises an association of asymmetrical overgrowth of almost any part of the body, verrucous epidermal naevi, vascular malformations and lipoma-like subcutaneous hamartoma. Both sexes are affected with equal frequency and severity and it is not transmitted genetically. Here a 16-year-old man with asymmetric overgrowth of the extremities, macrodactyly, cerebriform hypertrop...
