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 does the medical abbreviation LVH mean?
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy will shift the apical beat.
What is the icd9 code for right ventricular hypertrophy?
right ventricle 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.
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 is Abnormally High LEWIS Index in an EKG exam?
indicator of ventricular hypertrophy
What are the four defects in tetralogy of fallot?
Pulmonary Atresia (or Pulmonary Stenosis) Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Ventricular Septal Defect Overriding Aorta
Which lead on a 12-lead EKG gives the most information on ventricular hypertrophy?
VII
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.
Can you have left ventricular hypertrophy and low blood pressure?
No, force of blood is more in the ventricles then you will have high BP.
What has the author David Ross Wallbridge written?
David Ross Wallbridge has written: 'Clinical studies in left ventricular hypertrophy'
What does inadequate ventricular systole mean?
It is a defective ventricular contraction.
