Background. In adults, acquired pressure-overload left ventricular hypertrophy can result in myocardial ischemia, which may be due in part to insufficient capillary growth during development of hypertrophy. The coronary microvascular response to congenital pressure-overload hypertrophy in children has not been previously characterized.Methods and Results. Average capillary density and heterogeneity of capillary spacing were measured in 63 postmortem human hearts with left ventricular hypertrophy and control hearts without heart disease. Pathology specimens were chosen that had left ventricular hypertrophy caused by 1) congenital isolated aortic valve stenosis in infants
