mTOR activation promotes pathological hypertrophy during pressure overload. However, mTOR kinase is also required for physiological mechanisms that are necessary for cardiac adaptation to cardiac overload. The pharmacological modulators of mTOR and the animal models with genetic modifications of the components of the mTOR signaling pathway that have been used in the studies focused on the role of mTOR in cardiac hypertrophy are displayed.
