Extractions: To confuse things, the World Health Organization has a classification of cardiomyopathy that excludes myocardial diseases with known cause, or myocardial diseases that are part of a systemic disorder. Most authors avoid this scheme, because it is too restrictive. Go Back to Previous Page Last Modified:

Extractions: The myocardium is affected by a variety of disease processes including the primary muscle disorders such as dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, degenerative and inflammatory diseases, neoplasia, and infarction. The myocardium is also sensitive to toxin exposure, including adriamycin, oleander, and fluoroacetate (1080). Myocarditis occurs in all species and may be caused by viral, bacterial, parasitic, and protozoal infection. Canine parvovirus, encephalomyocarditis virus, and equine infectious anemia are viruses with a propensity to cause myocarditis. Myocardial degeneration occurs in lambs, calves, and foals with white muscle disease, and in pigs with mulberry heart disease or hepatosis dietetica. Mineral deficiencies can also result in myocardial degeneration, including iron, selenium, and copper. Dilated Cardiomyopathy This disease is common is large breed dogs, and very rare in small breed dogs (exception being English cocker spaniel). Doberman pinschers, great Danes, German shepherds, and labrador retrievers are particularly at risk. The disease is typically seen in middle-aged dogs, with males affected more than females. Once common in cats, the incidence of dilated cardiomyopathy has dropped dramatically since the 1985 discovery that taurine deficiency was responsible for a majority of cases. Since that time, taurine levels have been increased to acceptable levels in all commercial cat foods. Most cases today are not taurine responsive and reflect a primary (or idiopathic) disease. In cats, there is no breed predilection for dilated cardiomyopathy.

myocardial infarction is the most common cause of left heart failure but it canalso be caused by hypertension, aortic insufficiency or cardiomyopathy.
http://www.cardiac-disease.net/

Extractions: What affects one side of the heart eventually will effect both sides as the heart and lungs are interconnected systems. Left side failure occurs when left ventricular output is less than the volume of blood received from the right side of the heart via the pulmonary circulation. Congestion in the pulmonary circuit ensues and the systemic blood pressure falls. Myocardial infarction is the most common cause of left heart failure but it can also be caused by hypertension aortic insufficiency or cardiomyopathy Right heart failure, similarly, occurs when the right ventricle cannot pump the volume of blood returned to it. The resulting congestion of the systemic venous system and decreased output to the lungs causes venous distention, swelling of distensible organs to produce hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and peripheral edema. In addition, many of the effects of left heart failure are seen because of the inadequate return from the lungs and output of the left ventricle. The causes of right heart failure are left heart failure

Extractions: myocardial contusion By Eric Berlin, MD Images (click to view larger image) Myocardial contusion refers to a bruising of the heart. It is usually due to an injury to the chest wall. What is going on in the body? Injuries to the chest wall can be placed into two general groups. Penetrating injuries are wounds in which the chest cavity is pierced. Two examples are knife stabbings and gunshot wounds. Nonpenetrating injuries involve crush injuries , or compression of the chest. This type of injury is often a result of motor vehicle accidents or explosions. Alone or in combination, these forces can cause a myocardial contusion. A myocardial contusion may have the following effects: bleeding into the membrane that surrounds the heart, which can cause cardiac tamponade bleeding within the heart muscle conduction problems, or an abnormality in the transmission of the electrical impulses that control the heartbeat congestive heart failure , a condition in which the heart's decreased pumping ability causes fluid to back up into the lungs damage to heart valves death of areas of heart muscle rupture of the heart chamber walls and nearby structures weakening of the heart muscle What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

Heart Attack (myocardial Infarction) What is a heart attack (myocardialinfarction or MI)? A heart attack, or myocardial infarction
http://www.viahealth.org/disease/cardiac/attack.htm

Extractions: A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, occurs when one of more regions of the heart muscle experience a severe or prolonged decrease in oxygen supply caused by blocked blood flow to the heart muscle. The blockage is often a result of atherosclerosis a buildup of plaque, known as cholesterol, and other fatty substances. Plaque inhibits and obstructs the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, thus reducing the flow to the rest of the body. If the blood and oxygen supply is cut off severely or for a long period of time, muscle cells of the heart suffer severe and devastating damage and die. The result is damage or death to the area of the heart that became affected by reduced blood supply. What are the risk factors for heart attack?
