Explanation

Myocardial hypertrophy is the enlargement of the muscular wall of the ventricles which plays a role in the compensatory mechanism of the heart in cardiac failure. Hypertrophy increases the number of contractile elements in myocardial cells as a means of increasing their contractile performance in response to an increase in work demands by the heart.
