concentric hypertrophy

This situation presents usually a concentric hypertrophy.

There is both concentric hypertrophy and eccentric hypertrophy in AI.

This is in contrast to the concentric hypertrophy seen in aortic stenosis or hypertension.

This is termed concentric hypertrophy.

In the heart concentric hypertrophy is related to increased pressure overload of the heart, often due to hypertension and/or aortic stenosis.

These compensatory changes, termed "concentric hypertrophy," reduce the increase in wall tension observed in aortic stenosis.

Concentric hypertrophy is due to pressure overload, while eccentric hypertrophy is due to volume overload.

The type of hypertrophy most commonly seen in AS is concentric hypertrophy, in which the walls of the LV are (approximately) equally thickened.

Concentric hypertrophy is a hypertrophic growth of a hollow organ without overall enlargement, in which the walls of the organ are thickened and its capacity or volume is diminished.

As described in the previous section, it is believed that the eccentric hypertrophy is induced by volume-overload and that the concentric hypertrophy is induced by pressure-overload.

The concentric hypertrophy is due to the increased left ventricular systolic pressures associated with AI, while the eccentric hypertrophy is due to volume overload caused by the regurgitant fraction.
