A 58-year-old woman with a previous anterior myocardial infarction, recurrent chest pain, transient adenosine-induced left ventricular dilatation but no apparent epicardial disease on angiography is presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The results were compared with a control group consisting of ten participants without portal hypertension who were monitored during endoscopic evaluation for dyspepsia. [journals.plos.org]

Abstract Coronary heart disease and beta-blocker treatment can increase the use of the Frank-Starling mechanism during exercise. The aim of the study was to assess whether this could be influenced by physical training. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease. Several other mechanisms apply also to dilative types of heart failure of various, non-ischemic etiologies. [degruyter.com]

2012 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 429.3 Cardiomegaly ICD-9-CM 429.3 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 429.3 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30 [icd9data.com]

Cardiomegaly is a nonspecific symptom seen in patients with chronic systolic heart failure (heart failure) or several forms of cardiomyopathies. Hypertrophy or enlargement of the heart. [icd10data.com]

Cardiomegaly on chest x-ray: prognostic implications from a ten-year cohort study of elderly subjects: a report from the Bronx Longitudinal Aging Study. Am Heart J 1992 ;124: 1026 - 1030 3. Lauer MS, Evans JC, Levy D. [nejm.org]

DIAGNOSTIC STUDIES ( Table 7 ) The chest x-ray may demonstrate cardiomegaly, pulmonary congestion and sometimes pleural effusion. Laboratory tests Routine tests should include CBC, electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, urinalysis. [brown.edu]

Cardiomegaly persisting longer than 4-6 months carries a mortality of 50% at 6 years. Subsequent pregnancies in women with cardiomyopathy carries a substantial risk of clinical deterioration, particularly in those who did not recover LV function. [emedicine.medscape.com]

RESULTS: Patients with concentric dilated left ventricular hypertrophy had higher albumin excretion rates (P   0.0258) and prevalence of microalbuminuria (P CONCLUSION: Left ventricular dilatation is associated with subclinical renal damage in hypertension [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Albuminuria was measured as the albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Early intrarenal vascular changes, expressed as the renal volume to resistive index ratio, were evaluated by ultrasound and Doppler scan. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
