Enlargement of the ventricular mass (usually in the left ventricle) in response to stress or disease, such as atherosclerosis or myocardial infarction. The greater mass reduces compliance of the ventricular wall and the inner volume of the ventricular chamber, which reduces SV so the heart has to work harder to maintain Q at rest and during activity.
A. Peripheral Artery Disease
B. Cardiac Dysrhythmia
C. Myocardial Infarction
D. Pathological Ventricular Hypertrophy
