2024年8月6日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy is a thickening of the wall of the heart's main pumping chamber, called the left ventricle. This thickening may increase pressure within the heart. The condition can make it harder for the heart to pump blood. The most common cause is …

2024年8月6日 · To diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy, a healthcare professional does a physical exam and asks questions about your symptoms and family's health history. The care professional checks your blood pressure and listens to your heart with a …

2024年5月30日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy, or LVH, is a term for a heart’s left pumping chamber that has thickened and may not be pumping efficiently. Sometimes problems such as aortic stenosis or high blood pressure overwork the heart muscle.

2021年9月20日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently. It can result in a lack of oxygen to the heart muscle. It can also cause changes to the heart’s conduction system that make it beat irregularly (arrhythmia).

2022年12月21日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the heart’s main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of...

Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) represents a significant yet often overlooked cardiac condition. It manifests as a thickening of the heart muscle, particularly within the left ventricle, and does so without the considerable enlargement of the heart chambers.

2023年8月8日 · Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy is an abnormal increase in left ventricular myocardial mass caused by chronically increased workload on the heart, most commonly resulting from pressure overload-induced by arteriolar vasoconstriction as occurs in, chronic hypertension or aortic stenosis.

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a form of cardiac remodeling that causes the heart wall muscle to thicken, which leads to an increase in LV mass (LVM). There are different sub-categories that fall into the diagnosis of LVH, which includes concentric, eccentric and concentric remodeling.

2025年1月31日 · When mild, left ventricular hypertrophy is usually asymptomatic. As it worsens, symptoms of congestive heart failure gradually arise. Left ventricular hypertrophy may result from either increased pressure or volume afterload on the heart. Much more rarely it may result from genetic conditions.

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a serious condition that requires attention and management. By understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatment options, you can take proactive steps to protect your heart health.
