Abstract

Myocardial hypertrophy is a positive adaptive process allowing temporary compensation of raised demands on blood circulation. Not only does the amount of contractile elements increase, but the heart itself undergoes complete remodeling at the organ, cellular, and subcellular level. Positive signs of adaptation are, however, accompanied by the development of pathological changes that may lead to cardiac failure.
