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 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 a Left Ventricular Assist Device called?
LVAD
The Right and left ventricles are separated by the?
The right and left venrticles are separated by the interventicular septum.
What structure divides the left atrium and left ventricle?
the septum divides the teo ventricles of the heart.
Will the apical beat be shifted in left ventricular hypertrophy?
Yes, in left ventricular hypertrophy, the apical beat may be shifted laterally and inferiorly due to the increase in left ventricular mass and displacement of the apex by the hypertrophied myocardium.
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?

Concentric hypertrophy is where the wall thickens which then makes the internal ventricular chamber smaller.
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.
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
What has the author David Ross Wallbridge written?
David Ross Wallbridge has written: 'Clinical studies in left ventricular hypertrophy'
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.
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.
Can left ventricular hypertrophy lead to heart failure?
Yes, left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) can lead to heart failure. LVH occurs when the heart's left ventricle thickens in response to increased workload, often due to high blood pressure or other heart conditions. Over time, the thickened muscle may become stiff, impairing the heart's ability to pump effectively and leading to heart failure. Additionally, LVH can disrupt the heart's electrical system, increasing the risk of arrhythmias and further contributing to heart failure.
What could go wrong with the left ventrical?
The left ventricle can experience several issues, including left ventricular hypertrophy, where the heart muscle thickens, potentially leading to heart failure. It may also suffer from left ventricular dysfunction due to conditions like ischemic heart disease, resulting in inadequate blood pumping. Additionally, left ventricular dilatation can occur, leading to decreased contractility and increased risk of arrhythmias. These conditions can compromise overall heart function and affect systemic circulation.
