What are the causes and consequences of left ventricular hypertrophy?

summary

There are many reasons for left ventricular hypertrophy, such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, valvular disease, such as aortic insufficiency, etc!

What are the causes and consequences of left ventricular hypertrophy?

Aortic insufficiency, may have rheumatic fever symptoms history, cardiac function compensation period is longer, more complicated with mitral or aortic stenosis, often angina pectoris attack, serious will lead to left ventricular hypertrophy! Coarctation of the aorta is the narrowing of the active lumen, characterized by lower extremity blood pressure significantly lower than that of the upper extremity, while upper extremity blood pressure, especially systolic blood pressure, is significantly higher than normal blood pressure. Patients often have lower limb fatigue, cold and numbness, so left ventricular hypertrophy need special attention!

Coronary atherosclerotic heart symptoms, manifested as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, can also be manifested as arrhythmia, heart failure, can also be without any symptoms, or the first symptom is sudden death, which is one of the causes of left ventricular hypertrophy!

The main causes of left ventricular hypertrophy are hypertension, coronary heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, valvular disease (such as aortic insufficiency) and so on. Pathological left ventricular hypertrophy is a compensatory adaptive response to the needs of the body. If the etiology continues to exist and worsen, it will lead to decompensation and eventually lead to left heart failure.

matters needing attention

Finally, patients suffering from such diseases, in life must pay attention to good diet and other aspects, and also pay attention to the use of drugs in drug treatment, can not use drugs at will, according to their own condition.
