Cardiac hypertrophy and hypertension
Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1998In the general population and in patients with essential hypertension the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular events, independent of blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors. The prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy increases with age and with the severity of renal impairment.

Lipofuscin in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Beiträge zur Pathologie, 1972Summary Quantitative investigations on the lipofuscin content in human hearts from various weight classes should allow us to conclude whether or not a correlation exists between pigment content and the degree of cardiac hypertrophy. The investigations were performed on 7 μ thick tissue sections from 12 autopsied hearts, and included microscopic ...

Mechanisms of Cardiac Hypertrophy
Heart Failure Clinics, 2005Cardiac hypertrophy is a response of myocardium to various physiologic and pathologic stimuli, mechanical and hormonal, that causes the heart to work harder under conditions of increased workload [1–3]. Different cardiovascular diseases, such as aortic stenosis, hypertension, and myocardial infarct, cause mechanical stretching on cardiac walls. Cardiac

Endothelin and Cardiac Hypertrophy
Life Sciences, 1997Cardiac hypertrophy is a commonly observed complication of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. As well as mechanical stresses such as pressure overload, several humoral factors may contribute to the development of cardiac hypertrophy. In the early 1990s, endothelin-1 (ET-1) was found to induce cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in cultured neonatal rat ...

Catecholamines in cardiac hypertrophy
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1999There has been intense interest in the roles catecholamines may play in compensatory myocardial hypertrophy. This article reviews the following: (1) chronic infusions of catecholamines in experimental animals result in cardiac hypertrophy, but in many of the studies mechanical factors have played a role; (2) experiments using isolated papillary muscles

Cardiac Hypertrophy in Hypertension
New England Journal of Medicine, 1987Over the past three decades, increasing attention has focused on the hypertensive diseases. During this period, antihypertensive therapy was introduced, and its safety and efficacy were demonstrate...

Mitochondrial Proliferation in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Basic Research in Cardiology, 1980Mitochondrial proliferation was studied in mature female rats following aortic constriction. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was assayed by a fluorometric method. The conditions for removal of nuclear DNA were developed and verified by assessment of molecular conformation of DNA.

Growth Factor for Cardiac Hypertrophy
Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1993Cardiac size can be regulated by the balance in activity between cardiac growth factors and inhibiting factors, chalones. This study was undertaken to verify the role of the cardiac growth factor and its purification from hypertrophied hearts. For this propose the hypertrophied hearts of renovascular hypertensive rats were used.
