| | LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY |
| | Hypertrophy means that the chamber is thickened, and its muscular fibers have thickened and shortened, which is a common sign that a muscle is being overworked and losing muscle tone. | | | The most common cause is a stiff left ventricle (failure to relax), which is secondary to the thickness (hypertrophy) of the left ventricle. | | | In diastolic overload, the thickening ( hypertrophy) can, in time, be associated with progressive enlargement ( dilatation) of the left ventricular chamber. |

| | Hypertrophy |
| | For example, hypertrophy is a normal physiological adaptation to exercise training that enables the ventricle to enhance its pumping capacity. | | | Ventricular hypertrophy (i.e., increased ventricular mass) is an adaptation by the ventricle to increased stress, such as chronically increased volume load ( preload) or increased pressure load ( afterload). | | | It is a physiological response that enables the heart to adapt to increased stress; however, the response can become pathological and ultimately lead to a deterioration in function. |

| | Left Ventricular Hypertrophy |
| | Echocardiography represents the method of choice for in vivo assessment of left ventricular hypertrophy. | | | In perhaps 10% of cases, left ventricular hypertrophy may manifest on echocardiograms in an asymmetric form with the septum thicker than the posterior wall but without other stigmata of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. | | | If the hypertrophy is symmetrical, and providing no regional wall motion abnormalities, these estimates show reasonable correlation with actual excised left ventricular weights measured at necropsy. |

| | Colorado HealthSite ~ Risk of Sudden Death from Left Ventricular Hypertrophy |
| | The authors state that the purpose of their study was to assess the relation between the magnitude of left ventricular hypertrophy and survival in a large number of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. | | | The authors conclude, therefore, that "young patients with extreme hypertrophy (including those with no other risk factors) should be informed about the option of the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator." | | | If you are a young person who has been diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy or if two or more members of your family have a history of sudden death before 50 years of age, you should ask your physician to schedule a test to measure the thickness of your left ventricular wall. |

| | Left Ventricular Hypertrophy |
| | Echocardiographic studies have enhanced our understanding of the etiology of hypertensive LV hypertrophy and dysfunction in epidemiologic studies over the past two decades. | | | These changes are followed by an attenuation of the increase in cardiac output seen in the early phases of hypertension [ 66 ], with parallel development of vascular/cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling as well as increased arterial stiffness. | | | Apart from the fetal program of gene expression, many other molecular risk factors for hypertrophy are reported, including candidates from the renin-angiotensin system, growth factors, natriuretic peptides, endothelin, calicineuron, troponin, and the cardiac myosin heavy chain genes [ 49 - 51 ]. |

| | Virginal breast hypertrophy is a condition which involves excessive growth of the breasts during puberty, and in some cases the continued growth beyond the usual pubescent age. | | | Since they are associated with sex, in many cultures bare breasts are considered indecent, and they are not commonly displayed in public, in contrast to male chests. | | | Other cultures view the baring of breasts as acceptable, and in some countries women have never been forbidden to bare their chests. |
