Question 1

how long does it take to reverse left ventricular hypertrophy on average?

Accepted Answer

: It starts within a heart beat when cause is reversed.  Should be able to see something change in 1 month with echo and earlier with MRI. When one had high blood pressure and lowers salt in body you can see it with echo in 1 month if done correctly. Rice diet can do it in a month.  Google Kempner Rice diet.

Question 2

what is the meaning of grade 1 left ventricular impairment?

Accepted Answer

Diastolic failure: The mildest form is called an "abnormal relaxation pattern", or grade i diastolic dysfunction. On the mitral inflow doppler echocardiogram, there is reversal of the normal e/a ratio. This pattern may develop normally with age in some patients, and many grade i patients will not have any clinical signs or symptoms of heart failure.

Question 3

left ventricular cavityy size is mildly enlarged, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: That depends on many additional pieces of information, such as your body size, clinical history, other structural circumstances of the heart, past medical history, function of the heart.  If you are aware that you lv cavity size is mildly enlarged, you have had cardiac imaging; i recommend discussing this with your cardiologist for an accurate answer.

Question 4

what is left ventricular atrophy ?

Accepted Answer

Ventricular atrophy: Left ventricular atrophy is a reduction in size of the left ventricle of the heart, the chamber of the heart responsible for pumping freshly oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. People with this condition can experience a number of health complications, and there are treatments available to arrest or reverse the atrophy.

Question 5

left ventricular mass is 264.6g is this bad?

Accepted Answer

: it is not normal to have a mass in the left ventricle.  With the knowledge and techniques we have today, a good cardiologist and cardiothorasic surgeon should be able to handle this. 
The only danger would be if you didn’t get proper care.
Good luck to you

Question 6

left ventricular mass is 264.4g is this bad?

Accepted Answer

: I need to know your body surface area to adjust for you.  Discuss with Echo team. what they think for people like you who grew up where you did.

Question 7

how do you assess left ventricular function?

Accepted Answer

Echocardiogram: This is most commonly done with an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the heart. It is also assessed when dye is injected into the heart at the time of a cardiac catheterization or by the injection of radioactive substances into the heart, which is commonly done as part of a stress test.

Question 8

left ventricular posterior wall is 1.6 cm is that okay?

Accepted Answer

: Unfortunately, it is not okay and it means the posterior ventricular wall is too thick, a criteria of moderate to severe left ventricular hypertrophy.

Question 9

what is mild concentric left ventricular hyper trophy

Accepted Answer

Mild LVH: Mildly increased thickening of the left ventricular walls in a uniform fashion.  Most common reason is hypertension.

Question 10

can echo report must shows left ventricular wall thickness ?

Accepted Answer

: If the person reporting the study wants to be considered through, they report what they see with measurements. Some occasionally omit parts of a report if the findings are normal.
