ICD-10-CM Hypertrophy
Hypertrophy 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. Although hypertrophy and hyperplasia are two distinct processes, they frequently occur together, such as in the case of the hormonally-induced proliferation and enlargement of the cells …

Definition. The dividing wall between left and right sides of the heart, thickens and bulges into the left ventricle. [
ICD-10 code I51. 7 for Cardiomegaly is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is usually caused by changes in genes (gene mutations) that cause the heart muscle to thicken. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy typically affects the muscular wall (septum) between the two bottom chambers of the heart (ventricles). The thickened wall might block blood flow out of the heart.

Definition of hypertrophy (Entry 1 of 2) 1 biology : excessive development of an organ or part specifically : increase in bulk (as by thickening of muscle fibers) without multiplication of parts cardiac hypertrophy. 2 : exaggerated growth or complexity economic hypertrophy. hypertrophy.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a thickening of the wall of the heart's main pumping chamber. This thickening may result in elevation of pressure within the heart and sometimes poor pumping action. The most common cause is high blood pressure.
Cardiac hypertrophy is an adaptive response to pressure or volume stress, mutations of sarcomeric (or other) proteins, or loss of contractile mass from prior infarction. Hypertrophic growth accompanies many forms of heart disease, including ischemic disease, hypertension, heart failure, and valvular disease.
Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy is an abnormal increase in left ventricular myocardial mass caused by chronically increased workload on the heart, most commonly resulting from pressure overload-induced by arteriolar vasoconstriction as occurs in, chronic hypertension or aortic stenosis.
Asymmetric septal hypertrophy is the most common type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in which the abnormal ventricular muscle thickening is confined to the interventricular septum, causing the walls of the lower heart chambers (typically the left ventricle) to become thick and stiff 1).
When the aortic or mitral valves are leaking, the left ventricle adapts to the increased volume load by getting larger. This results in cardiomegaly. If the aortic valve is narrow, this results in an obstruction to the left ventricle which develops hypertrophy and cardiomegaly.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is most often caused by abnormal genes in the heart muscle. These genes cause the walls of the heart chamber (left ventricle) to become thicker than normal. The thickened walls may become stiff and this can reduce the amount of blood taken in and pumped out to the body with each heartbeat.
Medications to treat hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and its symptoms might include:Beta blockers such as metoprolol (Lopressor, Toprol-XL), propranolol (Inderal, Innopran XL) or atenolol (Tenormin)Calcium channel blockers such as verapamil (Verelan, Calan SR,) or diltiazem (Cardizem, Tiazac)More items...•
At most recent clinical evaluation, 192 patients (69%) had no or mild symptoms and 69 (25%) experienced incapacitating symptoms or HCM-related death; 53 (19%) of the patients had achieved estimated life expectancy of 75 years or older.
The interventricular septum separates the left ventricle and the right ventricle. It is muscular at the apex and tapers to a membranous portion at the heart base near the origin of the aorta. Septal defects may occur in any area of the septum, but are most commonly located in the membranous portion.
Classification of ventricular septal defects is based on location of the communication, such as perimembranous, inlet, outlet (infundibular), central muscular, marginal muscular, or apical muscular defect.
