LVH stands for "left ventricle hypertrophy". LVH is due to excessive overload and demand on the left ventricle. In order to compensate for an excessive workload, the wall of the left ventricle becomes thicker (hypertrophy). Thickening, or hypertrophy, occurs at the beginning of the onset of LVH. If the factors that cause the overload continue to persist, hypertrophy will continue to develop... but not without limits. Hypertrophy depends upon the hearts muscle’s ability to create new blood vessels, which is limited. All of sudden, in one moment, hypertrophy won’t be able to sustain the burden on the heart and the body experiences heart failure.
Left heart’s ventricle stress can be due to high blood pressure or a primary valvular disorder such as aortal stenosis or regurgitation and mitral regurgitation. LVH can also be caused by an unknown reason; LVH can be idiopathic.
LVH can be precisely diagnosed and the level of development estimated using an ultrasound cardiography. Blood pressure measurement is also a part of the diagnostic procedure.
Therapy of LVH always includes blood pressure drugs because high blood pressure can cause and worsen a poor heart condition. If a valvular disorder caused LVH then cardiac surgery can be performed.
You can ask for a second opinion from a cardiologist.
