Phenotypic Modulation of Adult Tissues
Phenotype Plasticity
Potential Signalling Pathways to Produce Cardiac Hypertrophy (all increase Ca++)
Phenotypic Modulation in Skeletal and Smooth Muscle: Fast-to-Slow Conversion
Functional Significance—hypertrophy switches muscle from fast-twitch to slow-twitch isoform
Changes During Hypertrophy
Genetic Mutations—small percent of dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (sometimes inherited)
