Development and regression of increased ventricular mass.

J K Perloff

    The American Journal of Cardiology
    |September 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Increased cardiac mass, or ventricular hypertrophy, can be a normal adaptation to stress or a pathological condition. This study examines factors influencing cardiac growth, its regression, and maintaining normal heart function.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Cardiac Remodeling
    • Cellular Biology

    Background:

    • Cardiac mass increases normally during development and in response to physiological stimuli.
    • Understanding the transition from adaptive to maladaptive cardiac growth is crucial for cardiovascular health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the factors influencing increased cardiac mass.
    • To differentiate between physiological and pathological cardiac hypertrophy.
    • To explore the mechanisms of cardiac mass regression and functional recovery.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of ventricular growth across developmental stages (embryo to child).
    • Examination of cellular responses (hyperplasia, hypertrophy) to hemodynamic stress and hypoxia.
    • Review of myocardial adaptations, including biochemistry, ultrastructure, and functional morphology.

    Main Results:

    • Physiological adaptations to work loads are characterized, contrasting trained athletes with patients.
    • The transition from physiological to pathological ventricular mass increase is detailed.
    • Cellular and organ-level regression of increased cardiac mass is discussed.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac mass regulation involves complex cellular and organ-level processes.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is key to managing heart conditions and optimizing recovery.
    • Factors like age, stress type, and protein turnover influence ventricular remodeling and function.
