No. The answer is in the definition of hypertrophy.

Hypertrophy is the increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells.

The Valsalva maneuver does not affect cells in this way. It does, however, remain a cardiac test, a way to 'clear' the sinuses when atmospheric changes have occurred. Remember the last time you drove up a mountain, and it seemed like your ears 'popped'? That was an involuntary reaction to an atmospheric change. The Valsalva maneuver is, of course, used to cause the ears to 'pop', meaning it's equalizing the pressure.

There is NO danger in the Valsalva maneuver, but if you have a heart condition, you should stay away from doing this. It's not a hypertrophic issue, its a heart issue.
