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 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
How do you spell hypertrophy?
That is the correct spelling of the term "hypertrophy" (enlarged cells in tissue).
What is a critical feature of cardiac rehabilitation?
Long-term maintenance is a critical feature of cardiac rehabilitation.
What is the medical term for overdevelopment?
Hypertrophy, hypertrophic
What is the short term effect of hypertrophy?
hypertrophy is when the cells in a muscle duplicate and cause the muscle to get larger
The term used to describe muscular growth?
hypertrophy
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.
What is the medical term meaning the enlargement of an organ or tissue?
Hypertrophy
What is a medical term describing muscles of a body builder?
Hypertrophy
What is the accented syllable in the term hypertrophy?
The second syllable is accented.
What is the medical term meaning an increase in muscle size?
Hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size. Transient hypertrophy occurs when fluid accumulation (edema) increases in specific muscles during exercise. It is often called "the pump" because after exercise, blood rushes to the muscles, instantly making them appear larger in size. Chronic hypertrophy occurs when long term resistance training results in the increase of muscle size. The duration for which the increased muscle size remains is dependent on the intensity and frequency of the workouts.
Is cardiac hypertrophy genetic?
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).
