    GlossaryCardiac Hypertrophy

    thickening of heart muscle due to increased workload

    Cardiac Hypertrophy, also known as Myocardial Hypertrophy, is the thickening of the heart muscle, specifically the myocardium. This condition can result from increased workload on the heart due to high blood pressure or other cardiovascular diseases, leading to an enlarged heart that may struggle to pump blood efficiently. While it can be a compensatory response to increased demand, prolonged hypertrophy can lead to heart failure and other complications.
