Left Ventricular Hypertropy is usually caused by some underlying cardiovascular disease. One of these is high blood pressure but there are others. Ask the doctor if any other causes have been excluded and if whatever test you had showed healthy aortas.
If the answer is not satisfactory seek another opinion...you could do this regardless. Take along the results of ECG's or whatever you have had done. Sometimes the other doctor can obtain the reports anyhow.
It may be that your doctor is correct, but unless they explain properly and can show they have excluded other causes it is easy to be concerned.

RVH is not fatal. if its included in your pulmonary hypertension diagnosis then yes its fatal and people have a smaller survival rate after 15 years... but RVH is not P. HTN. RVH is anomalous it means very little. There are no treatments for an enlarged right ventricle.
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.

In people who are diagnosed oxygenated blood is pushed back into the right side of the heart Less oxygenated blood is pumped around the body What effect might this have on a person?
Depening on the severity of the defect, the person will have right ventricular hypertrophy (right ventricle of heart is enlarged) and have problems with all parts of the body getting enough oxygen. This can cause them to be cyanotic (turn blue) and experience fainting during exercise. With this type of defect, the body is not getting the normal amount of oxygen that it normally would and the effect of this is usually noticed during exercise.
