Hypertrophy Forensic post-mortem examination of a case of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, showing thickening of the cardiac muscle. Hypertrophy (IPA /haɪˈpɝːtrəfi/, from Greek ὑπέρ excess + τροφή nourishment) is the increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells. It is distinguished from hyperplasia, in which the cells remain approximately the same size but increase in number.

- hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. An autosomal dominant cardiomyopathy marked by excessive and disorganized growth of myofibrils, impaired filling of the heart (diastolic dysfunction), a reduction in the size of ventricular cavities, and, often, ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death.

- Eutrophication (pronounced you-tro-fi-KAY-shun) is a natural process that occurs in an aging lake or pond as that body of water gradually builds up its concentration of plant nutrients.umans increase the rate of eutrophication. Human activities almost always result in the creation of waste, and many of these waste products often contain nitrates and phosphates. Nitrates are a compound of nitrogen, and most are produced by bacteria. Phosphates are phosphorous compounds.

Hypertrophic Arthritic Changes Within the Lumbar Spine The term hypertrophy means enlargement. Hypertrophic change in muscles is a positive adaptation to athletic training. Hypertrophic arthritic changes in the lumbar spine are also adaptive, but are not viewed in such a positive light. These changes are often associated with reduced mobility, pain and stiffness. Hypertrophic arthritic changes of the lumbar spine sometimes compress nerves and cause numbness and weakness in the legs.

Heart Disease and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with thickening of the heart muscle, most commonly at the septum between the ventricles, below the aortic valve. This leads to stiffening of the walls of the heart and abnormal aortic and mitral heart valve function, both of which may impede normal blood flow out of the heart.

They are most likely to form on certain locations such as the back, chest, shoulders, jawline and earlobes.

Genetic Testing Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a primary disease of the myocardium (the muscle of the heart) in which a portion of the myocardium is hypertrophied (thickened) without any obvious cause, creating functional impairment of the cardiac muscle.It is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes.he occurrence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of sudden unexpected cardiac death in any age group and as a cause of disabling cardiac symptoms. Younger people are likely to have a more severe form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
