CVS 1 Flashcards

1
Q

Cardiac hypertrophy: the compensatory response due to pressure overload?

A

Concentric. Increased wall thickness; reduced cavity diameter.

The heart has to pump harder to overcome the systemic pressure.

Q

Cardiac hypertrophy: compensatory response due to volume overload?

A

Hypertrophy with dilation; increased ventricular diameter.

Too much blood in the heart would mean the heart harder to eject blood from the chamber.
