Left ventricular hypertrophy
October 15th 2009 05:35
Left ventricular hypertrophy is increased myocardial wall thickness due to increased load on the heart muscle due to high BP or left ventricular outflow obstruction. Increased muscle mass with fibrosis and inadequate myocardial capillary growth results in imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand which may present like angina, arrhythmia and diastolic dysfunction which may cause abnormal filling pressures and failure in long term cases.
