No, force of blood is more in the ventricles then you will have high BP.

Left ventricular hypertrophy can occur from?
Hypertrophy means enlargement in size of the muscle fibers. Inhypertension left ventricle has to work harder to push blood in the blood vessels, as there is increased pressure inarterialsystem. So left ventricular muscles leads to hypertrophy.
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy will shift the apical beat.
What consquences does coarctation of the aorta have?
Among the consequences of coarctation of the aorta is ventricular hypertrophy, an enlarging of the left ventricle in response to the increased back pressure of the blood and the demand for more blood by the body.
What is the difference between Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction?
LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) is (anatomical) structural condition and status of the heart, while Left Ventricular Dysfunction is disturbance in physiological functions and status of heart.
What does the medical abbreviation LVH mean?
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
What is eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy?
Ventricular hypertrophy means a thickening of the ventricle walls. This can then be described as eccentric or concentric. Eccentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens but the ventricle itself dilates therefore the wall is thickened but the ventricular chamber remains the same size. Concentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens which then makes the internal ventricular chamber smaller.
Can you take atenol and diovan together?
Yes you can. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (an enlarged left side of the heart). The drugs are fine together when prescribed by a doctor
Does increasing arterial blood pressure increases blood flow?
YES! Changes in blood volume affect arterial pressure by changing cardiac output. An increase in blood volume increases central venous pressure. This increases right atrial pressure, right ventricular end - diastolic pressure and volume. This increase in ventricular preload increases ventricular stroke volume by the Frank - Starling mechanism. An increase in right ventricular stroke volume increases pulmonary venous blood flow to the left ventricular, thereby increasing left ventricular preload and stroke volume. An increase in stroke volume then increases cardiac output and arterial blood pressure. answered by HappyNess0423
Is left ventricular hypertrophy fatal?
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy is enlargement of the myocardium (heart muscle) that makes up the left ventricle of the heart. The left ventricle is the chamber of the heart which pumps blood to most of the body (everywhere except the lungs).It is caused when a factor such as high blood pressure increases the work load of the heart muscle, and like any other muscle in our body, if it is worked hard then it will increase in size.If left ventricular hypertrophy is caught in time, then the prognosis can be very good. However, if left untreated it can lead to complications which can be life threatening. This is why if you experience any chest pain or shortness of breath, you should seek medical help immediately.The complications which can be caused by left ventricular hypertrophy are:The enlarged heart muscle loses its elasticity, meaning that it does not pump blood out of the heart effectively leading to increased pressure within the heart.The enlarged muscle compresses its supply of blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.These can lead to arrhythmias of the heart, heart failure, heart attack, insufficient oxygen supply to the heart, and the worst case scenario is it can lead to cardiac arrest (sudden loss of heart function and breathing)
What does ventricular hypertrophy mean?
It means enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart. This is due to excess work done by the heart as in high blood pressure, damage to the heart muscle after heart attack, valvular disease, respiratory disease putting extra strain to the heart.
What is decreased left ventricular compliance?
decreased left ventricular compliance means the left ventricles are stiffer , therefore they cannot relax properly hence end diastolic pressure will increase instead leading to increase preloadwhich depends on venous return and left ventricular compliance.In cases of heart failure this this increased preloadwill further transmit pressureto the pulmonary vasculature.in cases of volume hypertrophy ventricles dilates and therefore increased ventricular compliance.
Can left ventricle hypertrophy be repaired?
I was diagnosed with this 14 months ago, shortly after a diagnosis of very high blood pressure (190/130). My doctor put me on blood pressure pills which soon brought my BP down to normal levels (120/80). At the time my left ventricular wall thickness was 17mm. It has now recovered to 11mm, which is normal. So the answer is yes, recovery is definitely possible.
