Population

Children and adults with left ventricular pressure-overload hypertrophy and normal growth

Outcome

Capillary angiogenesis and morphometry of human coronary capillariessurrogate

Children with pressure-overload left ventricular hypertrophy exhibit proportional capillary angiogenesis, unlike adults who fail to mount this compensatory response.

Abstract

Pressure-overload left ventricular hypertrophy in children demonstrates proportional capillary angiogenesis, whereas in adults, hypertrophy appears to be associated with failure of compensatory angiogenesis.
