Implication

May link overload to hypertrophy via gene shifts; leaves open functional roles and therapeutic targets.

Key Points

This review discusses how chronic increases in hemodynamic load affect cardiac gene expression and muscle growth adaptation.
Review of existing literature on changes in gene expression due to mechanical overload.
Analysis of specific genes involved in cardiac hypertrophy such as cellular oncogenes and heat shock proteins.
Examination of molecular and cellular mechanisms influencing gene expression changes.
Identified permanent changes in gene expression related to isomyosin shifts in cardiac muscle.
Highlighted the role of oncogene expression and heat shock proteins in myocyte hypertrophy.
Confirmed a need to elucidate the precise biological functions of the genes involved in these processes.
