Question 1

can moderate left ventricle hypertrophy be reversed?

Accepted Answer

: See a cardiologist for guidance regarding "left ventricular hypertrophy" , who may order an ECHO cardiogram to determine the cause, which could be caused by mitral valve insufficiency or aortic valve stenosis, among other potential causes.

Question 2

can you reverse left ventricle hypertrophy naturally?

Accepted Answer

: Except for infrequent instances of hereditary forms of hypertrophy, if the hypertrophy has developed in response to uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure), reducing one's blood pressure to normal levels and keeping the BP well within the normal range, the heart can remodel and hypertrophy can stabilize or even recede. Hypertrophy progresses if BP is not controlled.

Question 3

is mild exercise with left ventricle hypertrophy bad?

Accepted Answer

: No. But it is best done under care and advice of the treating cardiologist

Question 4

how can concentic left ventricle hypertrophy be treated?

Accepted Answer

: If concentric left ventricle hypertrophy is caused by uncontrolled hypertension, effective blood pressure control with angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) can help the remodeling, i.e. reducing the concentric hypertrophy.

Question 5

how much blood is left in left ventricle after diastole?

Accepted Answer

Depends....: The ef (ejection fraction) is the percentage of blood ejected with each beat.  Normal is 55-70%.  Edv (end diastolic volume) is usually estimated by echocardiography using a biplane method of discs method using the apical 2 & 4 chamber views.

Question 6

what are the natural ways to treat left ventricle hypertrophy?

Accepted Answer

: To my knowledge , other than weight loss and a low sodium diet, there are no natural ways to treat left ventricular hypertrophy . The treatment must be directed at the cause and the most common cause is hypertension. It is important at this time to see a cardiologist and determine the exact cause of the left ventricular hypertrophy.

Question 7

what is a normal thickness of the left ventricle in the heart?

Accepted Answer

1.2 max: As measured at the very end of diastole it's 0.6 to 1.2 cm.

Question 8

what does an enlarged left ventricle of the heart do to a child?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Mitral valve regurgitation or cardiomyopathy are 2 common causes.  Your doctor will be able to discuss the clinical ramification for the left ventricular enlargement and monitoring or follow up needed.

Question 9

are pvcs in right venrtrivcle more concering than left ventricle?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Much more important than the location is the frequency. Infrequent pvcs are common and rarely dangerous. Frequent pvcs have greater potential to cause serious rhythm disturbances, regardless of the ventricle of origin. Locating the origin is important mainly in deciding if there is a single focus, and for cardiologists who are considering (relatively rare) ablation (destruction) of such a focus.

Question 10

what is mild to moderate global hypokinesis of the left ventricle?

Accepted Answer

Cardiomyopathy: Loss of heart muscle strength in the main pump of the heart. Most commonly from poor blood flow/heart attack/ cholesterol.
