| hypertrophic cardiomyopathy | <cardiology, pathology> A congenital heart disease that results in abnormal thickening of the ventricular septum and left ventricular wall. Enlargement of the ventricular septum can result in ventricular outflow obstruction (subaortic stenosis) and eventual cardiomyopathy. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| dilated cardiomyopathy | <cardiology, pathology> A group of disorders where the heart muscle is weakened and cannot pump effectively. The net result is dilation of the cardiac chambers or cardiac enlargement. The poor cardiac function results in congestive heart failure. Causes for dilated cardiomyopathy include anaemia, obesity, amyloidosis, alcohol abuse, ischaemic cardiomyopathy, viral infections and idiopathic cardiomyopathy. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| idiopathic cardiomyopathy | Cardiomyopathy of unknown or obscure cause. A disease that affects mainly the heart muscle, sparing other cardiac structures and usually resulting in fibrosis, hypertrophy, or both. Synonym: idiopathic cardiomyopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infiltrative cardiomyopathy | <cardiology, pathology> A group of disorders which affect the heart muscle resulting in the ineffective pumping of blood. Examples include amyloidosis, Loeffler's syndrome, sarcoidosis, haemochromatosis, scleroderma and carcinoid syndrome. Complications include arrhythmias and progressive heart failure. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy | Familial occurrence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy exhibiting an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Familial cardiomyopathy of various kinds occurs with autosomal dominant inheritance. There is also an asymmetrical form affecting the ventricles and the interventricular septum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic nerve diseases | Diseases of the eighth cranial nerve. These include vestibular neuronitis, cochlear neuritis and acoustic neuroma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| adaptation diseases | Disease's falling theoretically into Selye's concept of the general-adaptation syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adnexal diseases | Diseases of the uterine appendages: the ovaries, uterine tubes, and ligaments of the uterus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| agricultural workers' diseases | Diseases in persons engaged in cultivating and tilling soil, growing plants, harvesting crops, raising livestock, or otherwise engaged in husbandry and farming. The diseases are not restricted to farmers in the sense of those who perform conventional farm chores: the heading applies also to those engaged in the individual activities named above, as in those only gathering harvest or in those only dusting crops. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ape diseases | Diseases of apes (pongidae). This term includes diseases of chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| arterial occlusive diseases | Diseases in which arterial vessels are partially or completely obstructed or in which the blood flow through the vessels is impeded. (12 Dec 1998) |
| auditory diseases, central | Diseases of the auditory pathways from the bulbar cochlear nuclei to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe. Structures involved include the medial and lateral lemnisci, inferior colliculus, and the medial geniculate nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| autoimmune diseases | Are illnesses which occur when the body tissues are attacked by its own immune system. The immune system is a complex organisation within the body that is designed normally to seek and destroy invaders of the body, particularly infections. Patients with these diseases have unusual antibodies in their blood that target their own body tissues. (12 Dec 1998) |
| autonomic nervous system diseases | Diseases that have their major effects on the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system may be seriously affected in many other disorders including other peripheral nervous system diseases, infectious diseases (e.g., tetanus, diphtheria), immunologic diseases (e.g., acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), and systemic disorders (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, amyloid neuropathy, thyroid diseases). Disorders of central autonomic control also contribute substantially to a wide variety of problems (e.g., eating disorders, panic disorder, water-electrolyte imbalance, cardiovascular diseases). (12 Dec 1998) |
| bird diseases | Diseases of birds not considered poultry, therefore usually found in zoos, parks, and the wild. The concept is differentiated from poultry diseases which is for birds raised as a source of meat or eggs for human consumption, and usually found in barnyards, hatcheries, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
