The major causes of _______________ include hypertension induced myocardial hypertrophy and myocardial ischemia with resultant ventricular remodeling. Hypertrophy in ischemia cause a decreased ability of the myocytes to actively pump calcium from the site is all, resulting in impaired relaxation. Other causes include aortic valvular disease, mitral valve disease, pericardial disease, and cardiomyopathies. Diabetes also increases the risk for _________________.
