Abstract
Hemodynamic overload results in cardiac hypertrophy, and may ultimately lead to congestive heart failure. Two factors are thought to contribute to the development of cardiac hypertrophy, mechanical stress and neurohormonal stress from angiotensin II (Ang II), endothelin-1, and the cytokines.
