HUMAN PHENOTYPE - ANNOTATIONS

The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) is downloaded weekly from http://compbio.charite.de/hudson/job/hpo/lastStableBuild/artifact/ontology/release/hp.obo. The file downloaded is considered the "last stable build" available for the ontology. For more about the HPO, view their website at http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/.

Term:Dilatation of the ventricular cavity

Accession:HP:0006698 term browser browse the term
Definition:A localized outpouching of ventricular cavity that is generally associated with dyskinesia and paradoxical expansion during systole.
Comment:Aneurysm is considered a severe form of dilatation. Ventricular aneurysms may have rim of calcium in the affected regions of the ventricular wall (which can become fibrotic). Thromboembolism is a potential complication. Ventricular aneurysms can be diagnosed by ventriculography.
Synonyms:narrow_synonym: Ventricular aneurysm
 xref: SNOMEDCT_US:90539001;   UMLS:C0392464
