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 …

Left untreated, LVH (and related underlying heart conditions) increases your risk of serious heart disease or even death. Treatment to slow or stop the progression of left ventricular hypertrophy lowers the risk of severe heart damage.

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.

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 …

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10月10日 · Severe LVH such as this appears almost identical to left bundle branch block — the main clue to the presence of LVH is the excessively high LV voltages. There are massively increased QRS voltages — the S waves in V3 are so deep they are literally falling off the page!

2024年10月29日 · Research indicates that severe LVH can lead to heart failure and significantly increase the risk of sudden cardiac death, which can shorten life by 10 to 15 years or more.

2019年3月15日 · The prognosis for left ventricular hypertrophy mainly depends on how effectively you can control your blood pressure. Since high blood pressure is the main predisposing factor for developing left ventricular hypertrophy, it is vital to take some preventing measures, such as losing some weight in case of obesity, for this it is necessary to ...

2023年8月8日 · Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a condition in which an increase in left ventricular mass occurs secondary to an increase in wall thickness, an increase in left ventricular cavity enlargement, or both.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is thickening of the heart muscle of the left ventricle of the heart, that is, left-sided ventricular hypertrophy and resulting increased left ventricular mass.
