Figure 4. Cardiac remodeling in heart failure: eccentric hypertrophy and concentric hypertrophy in patients with heart failure compared to a normal heart.

Figure 4

Eccentric and concentric hypertrophy are characterized by the arrangement of the sarcomeres. In heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, sarcomeres are added in a series rather than parallel as in concentric hypertrophy.
