We propose that the chain of events triggered by stretch begins with the release of small amounts of angiotensin II which in turn induce the release/formation of endothelin. The actions of these hormones trigger the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species that enhances NHE-1 activity, causing an increment in the intracellular Na+ concentration which promotes the increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) through the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger. This [Ca2+]i increase would trigger cardiac hypertrophy by activation of widely recognized Ca2+-dependent intracellular signaling pathways
