Development of concentric hypertrophy in response to left ventricular overload as predicted by the parallel sarcomere deposition model. Long axis view (top), basal slice of short-axis views (middle) and apical slice of short-axis view (bottom). The color code visualizes the relative thickening of heart muscle cells through parallel sarcomere deposition. Ellipticity is preserved, but wall thickness is drastically increased, which is characteristic for systemic hypertension.
