cardiovascular system
• about 30% increase in the cross-sectional area of each myocardial fiber
|
• there is about a 50% increase left ventricular posterior wall thickness
|
• increased heart:body weight ratio of 34, 41, and 23% is observed at 3 weeks, 8 weeks, and 6 months of age
|
• there is about a 50% increase in septal thickness and left ventricular posterior wall thickness
|
• diastolic function is reduced due to decreased ventricular volume
|
• greater than 10% increase in left ventricular systolic pressure
