Left Ventricular Myocardial Hypertrophy
Thickening of the left ventricular wall and Hypertrophy of the papillary Muscles are visible. Myogenic hypertrophy is observed, which develops in the Cytology/cytology/16.html">Early stages of cardiac decompensation. This is due to The Heart Muscle's inability to cope with increased workload, leading to dilation of the ventricular chamber. Dystrophic changes develop within the cardiomyocytes. Consequences: Heart Failure.
