Explanation / Answer

1) a) Hypertrophy (meaning increased growth) refers tothickening of theventricular wall. b) Thickening of the ventricular wall (remember ventricles pumpblood away from the heart) preventsproper filling and increasing outflow resistance ofblood volume from the ventricles. 2) Certain blood tests can be used to detect and determine anapproximate timeline of a myocardial infarction. Blood markers suchas CK-MB, cardiac Troponin-T andTroponin-I are all indicative of damage to theheart muscle and used in diagnosis of myocardial infarction.
