. In the physiological hypertrophy the left ventricle alone is involved but there is no increase in the size of the cavity. When the walls of any of the other cavities become hypertrophied or dilatation sets in we have a pathological condition to deal with. Etiology. — Cardiac hypertrophy is the result of excessive work, the muscle tissue increasing as all striped muscles increase in volume, when actively employed. The principal causes for left ventricular hypertrophy are CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY 29...5 increased arterial resistance as in arteriosclerosis, nephritis, or as a result of vasoconstrictor drugs; or toxic irritation as in uremia, goiter, gout, and infectious diseases; cardiac defects as valvular disease or myocarditis, or pericardial adhesions ; finally excessive or prolonged exercise as in athletic sports. Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when there is some obstruction to the circulation in the lungs, as in emphysema, or when there is mitral disease present. Pericardial adhesions may cause excessive work for the ventricular muscle and produce hypertrophy.
