What is the symptons of thicking of the heart?!
Question:
Answers:
Thickening of the heart walls or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can sometimes go with no symptoms at all. The thickening of the wall can be due to abnormal growth and arrangement of muscle fibers. Because the heart is a muscle, overuse can also thicken the heart wall. This is why the left ventricle - the chamber that pumps freshly oxygenated blood out of the heart - is usually the location of most thickening.
Since this is a progressive disease, there can sometimes be no symptoms at all. However, as the disease progresses, the thickened walls leave less room for blood in the chambers. This can lead to distinct signs of abnormal heart function, which include breathlessness, angina (chest pain), syncope (fainting) after strenous exercise, pounding heartbeat, or fatigue. The diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is complicated with the condition left ventricular hypertrophy - which is an enlarging of the left ventricle. This is common in athletic people, due to heightened conditioning. However, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be properly diagnosed with an ECG and chest x-ray.
The best plan of action is to have a regular electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest x-ray in order to catch the disease before it gets unmanageable.
