Cellular changes in mechanically overloaded heart.

P Y Hatt

    Basic Research in Cardiology
    |March 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Heart cells adapt to overload through hypertrophy and hyperplasia, altering myofibrils and mitochondria. Cellular damage depends on the severity of the heart load.
