• Chemical determination of DNA content and histometric estimation of the cell count and the thickness of muscle fibers in the human left ventricle were performed on 24 autopsy cases, in order to know relationships between heart weight, DNA content, cell count and thickness of muscle fibers with increasing heart weight. The following conclusions were obtained.It is considered that DNA synthesis and the increase in cell count are attributable for the increase in heart weight. The mean thickness of muscle fibers in cardiovascular and renal disease group was bigger than that in malignant tumor and miscellaneous disease group. Then it is concluded that not only hypertrophy of muscle fibers but hyperplasia of heart muscle cells occur in cardiac hypertrophy.
