Cardiac hypertrophy is defined as an increase in the size and weight of the myocardium. It generally results from increased pressure load while increased volume load (for e.g. - valvular incompetence) results in the hypertrophy with dilation of the affected chamber due to regurgitation of the blood through incompetent valve. This hypertrophy when occurs in the left valve of the heart is known as left ventricular hypertrophy. This is condition in which muscles of the heart that are pumping blood to the left valve becomes excessive thickened. The atria of the heart may also undergo compensatory changes due to increased work load.
The basic factors that stimulates left ventricular hypertrophy of the myocardial fibres are not known. It appears that stretching of myocardial fibres in response to stress induces the cells to increase in length. The elongated fibres receive better nutrition and thus increased in size. Other factor responsible for causing this disorder may include anoxia and influence of certain hormones (e.g. -catecholamines and pituitary growth hormones).
Older people are more prone to this disease. Mainly women with hypertension are at higher risk to suffer with left ventricular hypertrophy. Various genetic conditions are also associated with left ventricular hypertrophy. Diabetes and hypertension are two major factors that contributes to cause this disorder.
