The left ventricle (LV) adapts to haemodynamic demands by altering its size, shape and wall thickness, a process collectively referred to as geometric remodelling. In response to pressure overload, ...

Future Cardiol. 2013;9(5):697-709. Geometry Asymmetric hypertrophy out of proportion to hypertension Concentric remodeling or hypertrophy Symmetric LV hypertrophy that is proportional to exercise ...

Cardiac hypertrophy, the enlargement of the heart muscle in response to increased workload, is a key adaptive response that may progress to maladaptive remodelling and heart failure. Heart failure ...

Objectives American-style football (ASF) athletes are at risk for the development of concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (C-LVH), an established cardiovascular risk factor in the general ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of another heart ...

When the workload on the heart increases, the ventricular wall may thicken too, known as cardiac hypertrophy. This is an adaptive response that reduces pressure on the heart and maintains the activity ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the role of the protein NSUN2 in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. The research, conducted by a team from Harbin ...

Another active area of research in the laboratory focuses on unraveling the mechanisms behind maladaptive, or pathological, and adaptive, or physiological, cardiac hypertrophy. In response to certain ...
