Extreme Cardiac Hypertrophy in a Male Cadaver in our Human Anatomy Class - A Case Report

Abstract

In summary, in the present study we describe a 785 g heart from a 78-year-old male cadaver. The anatomy of the cardiomelic heart is described along with the consequences on the cardiovascular system which are very common among Hispanics and a deeper understanding of the capabilities of hypertrophy in a heart could help in future studies.
