Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy was induced in rats by exposure to either exercise or hypoxia. Isovolumetric pressure (aorta clamped) was measured in the left ventricle by a strain gauge connected to a needle introduced into the heart chamber. Pressures in the hypertrophied hearts (either method) were not significantly greater than those in control hearts. On a per g of heart muscle basis, the hypertrophied left ventricle is able to produce less tension than the normal one.
