[The characteristics of cardiac hyperfunction in virtually healthy middle-aged and elderly subjects].
62 apparently healthy persons aged 50-96 years were evaluated by echocardiography. Established in this series were an increase in incidence of hypertrophies of left ventricle with age and change in their qualitative distribution towards predominance of forms associated with sclerotic alterations in myocardium. Relation between different types of hypertrophy and parameters of systemic hemodynamics was noted as was their influence upon contractility of myocardium. The data obtained suggest that moderate hypertrophy of myocardium may have a positive, compensatory role in elderly and old people.
