Figure 1. Pressure and Volume Overload.

Figure 1.

Pressure overload is associated with an increase in end systolic pressure that causes an increase in the ventricular wall thickness through myocyte thickening caused by sarcomere addition. Volume overload occurs when the end diastolic volume is increased leading to a constant increase in residual ventricular volume that over time causes wall thinning through myocyte thinning and elongation.
