  2. Tricuspid regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_regurgitation

    The causes of TR may be classified as congenital [8] or acquired; another classification divides the causes into primary or secondary. Congenital abnormalities are much less common than acquired. The most common acquired TR is due to right ventricular dilatation. Such dilatation is most often due left heart failure or pulmonary hypertension.

  3. Mitral regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

    Secondary mitral regurgitation is due to the dilatation of the left ventricle that causes stretching of the mitral valve annulus and displacement of the papillary muscles. This dilatation of the left ventricle can be due to any cause of dilated cardiomyopathy including aortic insufficiency , nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy , and ...

  4. Right atrial enlargement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_atrial_enlargement

    It can broadly be classified as either right atrial hypertrophy (RAH), overgrowth, or dilation, like an expanding balloon. Common causes include pulmonary hypertension , which can be the primary defect leading to RAE, or pulmonary hypertension secondary to tricuspid stenosis ; pulmonary stenosis or Tetralogy of Fallot i.e. congenital diseases ...

  5. Dilated cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilated_cardiomyopathy

    Cardiac dilatation is a transversely isotropic, irreversible process resulting from excess strains on the myocardium. [27] A computation model of volumetric, isotropic, and cardiac wall growth predicts the relationship between cardiac strains (e.g. volume overload after myocardial infarction) and dilation using the following governing equations ...

  6. Heart failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

    Heart failure (HF), also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), is a syndrome caused by an impairment in the heart's ability to fill with and pump blood.. Although symptoms vary based on which side of the heart is affected, HF typically presents with shortness of breath, excessive fatigue, and bilateral leg swelling. [3]

  7. Pulmonary heart disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_heart_disease

    Dilatation is a stretching (in length) of the ventricle in response to acute increased pressure. [ 6 ] To be classified as pulmonary heart disease, the cause must originate in the pulmonary circulation system; RVH due to a systemic defect is not classified as pulmonary heart disease.

  9. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

    The main manifestations of septic shock are due to the massive release of histamine which causes intense dilation of the blood vessels. People with septic shock will also likely be positive for SIRS criteria. The most generally accepted treatment for these patients is early recognition of symptoms, and early administration of broad spectrum and ...
