Some cases of hypertrophy are due to genetics, while others are acquired later in life. The genetic form is called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, whose prevalence is 1/500 individuals. There are several causes, most (if not all) of which are due to defects in the genes that encode certain proteins that control contraction of heart muscle.
Acquired cardiac hypertrophy usually refers to hypertrophy of the ventricles, most commonly the left ventricle. Left ventricular hypertrophy is most commonly due to excess work being placed on the left side of the heart. In the United States, a common source of this excess work is high blood pressure (hypertension).

Is DNA genetic code or genetic blueprint?
DNA is the genetic code
How does genetic engineering rely on a shared genetic code?
for the genetic engenerring to take place it needs genetic code like for a car to drive you need to put gas in it. its simple
Advantages of genetic modification?
genetic modification can be bad because animals and stuff are changed to taste better but im not sure if that is genetic engineering
What does genetic engineering increase?
Short Answer is: our understanding of genetic engineering.
Is Achilles tendonitis genetic?
I don't think inflammation is genetic.
What are the chronic Adaptations of anaerobic training?
They include: - Muscle hypertrophy (enlargement) - Increased muscular stores of ATP and PC - Increased glycolytic capacity - Cardiac hypertrophy - Other anaerobic training adaptations
What role does exercise play in the development of both muscular and cardiac hypertrophy?
Stress on the muscles forces adaptation, or hypertrophy of the muscles to the activity. To continue growth, you must continue to increase the stress of the exercise such as lifting more weights.
How can a heart murmur affect an ECG?
It won't. But in the long term the murmur (depending on which valve is affected) will cause hypertrophy of cardiac muscles for the different ventricles/atria. And the hypertrophy will be detected by the ECG because it will change the cardiac axis. Murmurs are easily heard using a stethoscope so and ECG isn't useful. An ECG monitors the electric impulses of the heart muscle - so better to see heart blocks, infarcts, hypertrophy, AF, SVT etc
What is the heart's response to dynamic training?
Cardiac enlargement is associated with dynamic training. The heart's response to static training is hypertrophy, thickening of the muscle walls of the heart
Is a general increase in the bulk of a body part due to an increase in the size but not in the number of cells?
Hypertrophy
Can New cardiac muscle cells replace cardiac muscle cells?
Cardiac myocytes (heart muscle cells) do not regenerate. They can get bigger (hypertrophy), but new cells are not made under normal circumstances. This means that when you have a heart attack or another injury to the heart and cardiac cells die, they are replaced by fibrous scar tissue which does not contract like normal heart tissue does.
What type of exercise causes increase in muscle size?
Hypertrophy.
What is a long term cardiac hypertrophy?
basically cardiac hypertrophy is when your heart increases in size and blood volume. the wall of the left ventricle doesnt thicken but instead the right one does, increasing the strength potential of its contractions. and then during exercise your chest becomes bigger, which enables thicker muscles being built, and as your right ventricle gets bigger your right pectoral may become bigger than the left one but as you grow your pectorals will be the same length thanks, AKA.
How can you use hypertrophy in a sentence?
The hypertrophy of the liver was causing the problem.
What is the icd9 code for right ventricular hypertrophy?
right ventricle hypertrophy
Could a genetic disease that causes malformation of gaps junctions lead to both cardiac and gastrointestinal problems?
Yes, that is true.
How do you spell hypertrophy?
That is the correct spelling of the term "hypertrophy" (enlarged cells in tissue).
