Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) is defined as an increase in left ventricular (LV) mass, which may be secondary to an increase in wall thickness (concentric LVH), increased cavity size (eccentric LVH), or both. The presentation of hypertrophied LV depends mainly on the underlying disease, with concentric LVH resulting in most cases from LV pressure overload (hypertension or aortic stenosis), while eccentric LVH mainly depends on LV volume overloads (mitral and aortic insufficiency) and dilated cardiomyopathies. Other causes of LVH include […]
