Hyporeflexia of lower limbs- MedGen UID:
- 371881
- •Concept ID:
- C1834696
- •
- Finding
Reduced intensity of muscle tendon reflexes in the lower limbs. Reflexes are elicited by stretching the tendon of a muscle, e.g., by tapping.
Primary dilated cardiomyopathy- MedGen UID:
- 2880
- •Concept ID:

- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a form of heart disease in which the heart (cardiac) muscle becomes thin and enlarged (dilated). The dilation, which typically starts in the lower left chamber of the heart (left ventricle), makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. \n\nDilated cardiomyopathy is called nonsyndromic dilated cardiomyopathy when it cannot be explained by other causes, such as a heart attack or damage to the valves of the heart, and is not associated with signs and symptoms that affect other parts of the body.  \n\nThe signs and symptoms of nonsyndromic dilated cardiomyopathy vary among affected individuals, even among members of the same family. The signs and symptoms typically begin in mid-adulthood, but they can occur at any time from infancy to late adulthood. Affected individuals may have a sensation of fluttering or pounding in the chest (palpitations); shortness of breath, especially when lying down or during physical activity; fatigue; and swelling of the legs and feet. Affected individuals may also have episodes of dizziness or fainting (syncope). \n\nOver time, people with nonsyndromic dilated cardiomyopathy may develop life-threatening complications, which can include abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and heart failure. Although uncommon, sudden death can occur in people with nonsyndromic dilated cardiomyopathy, even if they have no other symptoms of the condition.\n\n
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy- MedGen UID:
- 2881
- •Concept ID:
- C0007194
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is defined by the presence of increased ventricular wall thickness or mass in the absence of loading conditions (hypertension, valve disease) sufficient to cause the observed abnormality.
Restrictive cardiomyopathy- MedGen UID:
- 40111
- •Concept ID:
- C0007196
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Restrictive left ventricular physiology is characterized by a pattern of ventricular filling in which increased stiffness of the myocardium causes ventricular pressure to rise precipitously with only small increases in volume, defined as restrictive ventricular physiology in the presence of normal or reduced diastolic volumes (of one or both ventricles), normal or reduced systolic volumes, and normal ventricular wall thickness.
Third degree atrioventricular block- MedGen UID:
- 56230
- •Concept ID:
- C0151517
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block (also referred to as complete heart block) is the complete dissociation of the atria and the ventricles. Third-degree AV block exists when more P waves than QRS complexes exist and no relationship (no conduction) exists between them.
Bradycardia- MedGen UID:
- 140901
- •Concept ID:
- C0428977
- •
- Finding
A slower than normal heart rate (in adults, slower than 60 beats per minute).
Constipation- MedGen UID:
- 1101
- •Concept ID:
- C0009806
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Infrequent or difficult evacuation of feces.
Diarrhea- MedGen UID:
- 8360
- •Concept ID:
- C0011991
- •
- Sign or Symptom
Abnormally increased frequency (usually defined as three or more) loose or watery bowel movements a day.
Bulbar palsy- MedGen UID:
- 898626
- •Concept ID:
- C4082299
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Bulbar weakness (or bulbar palsy) refers to bilateral impairment of function of the lower cranial nerves IX, X, XI and XII, which occurs due to lower motor neuron lesion either at nuclear or fascicular level in the medulla or from bilateral lesions of the lower cranial nerves outside the brain-stem. Bulbar weakness is often associated with difficulty in chewing, weakness of the facial muscles, dysarthria, palatal weakness and regurgitation of fluids, dysphagia, and dysphonia.
Neck muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 66808
- •Concept ID:
- C0240479
- •
- Finding
Decreased strength of the neck musculature.
Facial palsy- MedGen UID:
- 87660
- •Concept ID:
- C0376175
- •
- Disease or Syndrome
Facial nerve palsy is a dysfunction of cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) that results in inability to control facial muscles on the affected side with weakness of the muscles of facial expression and eye closure. This can either be present in unilateral or bilateral form.
Distal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 140883
- •Concept ID:
- C0427065
- •
- Finding
Reduced strength of the musculature of the distal extremities.
EMG: myopathic abnormalities- MedGen UID:
- 867362
- •Concept ID:
- C4021726
- •
- Pathologic Function
The presence of abnormal electromyographic patterns indicative of myopathy, such as small-short polyphasic motor unit potentials.
Late-onset proximal muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 871110
- •Concept ID:
- C4025578
- •
- Finding
Lack of strength of the proximal musculature occurring late in the clinical course.
Respiratory insufficiency due to muscle weakness- MedGen UID:
- 812797
- •Concept ID:
- C3806467
- •
- Finding
- Abnormality of limbs
- Abnormality of the cardiovascular system
- Abnormality of the digestive system
- Abnormality of the musculoskeletal system
- Abnormality of the nervous system
