Which of the following statements is true when comparing physiologic hypertrophy to pathologic hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart?
1) The ability of the heart to pump oxygenated blood will be greatly reduced in the case of pathologic hypertrophy.
2) The volume of the chamber of the left ventricle will usually be reduced in the pathologic heart.
3) The left ventricular wall thickness may be very similar in both cases.
4) The pathologic heart will most likely pump blood into the aorta under greater resistance than the heart with physiologic hypertrophy.
5) All of the answers are correct.
