How Severe Can Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Get?
Left ventricular hypertrophy is a condition wherein the muscles found in the central pumping chamber of the heart are thickened. But even if this is the case, left ventricular hypertrophy is not really a disease in itself. What it signifies is a more severe problem present in a patient. More often than not, this condition arises due to high blood pressure. It may also be because there is simply too much blood that fills the heart’s left ventricle. When either one of these instances happens, the heart becomes overworked. And that would result in eventual heart failure. People with other heart problems or high blood pressure are more prone to developing left ventricular hypertrophy. And those who are 50 years and above are more at risk than those who are younger. But in general, people who had developed this disease is more likely to acquire some other heart problems like major blood vessel and heart complications.
