Background-Cardiac hypertrophy is considered a necessary compensatory response to sustained elevations of left ventricular (LV) wall stress.Methods and Results-To test this, we inhibited calcineurin with cyclosporine (CsA) in the setting of surgically induced pressure overload in mice and examined in vivo parameters of ventricular volume and function using echocardiography. Normalized heart mass increased 45% by 5 weeks after thoracic aortic banding (TAB; heart weight/body weight, 8.3+/-0.9 mg/g [mean+/-SE] versus 5.7+/-0.1 mg/g unbanded, P
