Question 1

I got the results for a echocardiography report  and it says on one of the summaries mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy what those it means?

Accepted Answer

It means that the measurement of the wall thickness is increased. If you have had uncontrolled high blood pressure, that may make sense. IF not, it's possible the echo is over-reading it. One millimeter of increased thickness can result in the report saying "mild LVH" .The test isn't super accurate for subtle changes.

Question 2

How bad is mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy on a heart scan?

Accepted Answer

Called "idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis" ihss which was a mouthful reduced to ash, assymetric septl hypertrophy.These may be the cause of sudden death in young athletes, perhaps from arrhthmias, but rescussitation may be difficult. If you know you have this. You warrant a cardiologist to advise management, and it may be minor to nothing, but trust an expert not  a website for this.

Question 3

What does "mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, septum is akinetic & left ventricle is severely hypokinetic. " mean?

Accepted Answer

This is typically seen on echocardiogram in patients who have or will develop heart failure, most often as result of coronary artery disease. You need to see a cardiologist for further testing asap!

Question 4

Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy thats my resulst never had  high blood pressure those this means that i still have to go get checked ?

Accepted Answer

yes you should be checked to see why you have the LVH

Question 5

Is mild  left ventricular hypertrophy bad?

Accepted Answer

It is abnormal but not that bad. I assume you have hypertension which was out of control for quite some time.
If you are taking medication(s) for controlling the blood pressure, keep it below 120/80, and if your doctor uses an ACEi or ARB, the heart muscle can be stabilized or get smaller (re-conditioned), i.e. the hypertrophy will not get worse or it even improves.

Question 6

Left ventricular hypertrophy mild...what are the chances of sudden cardiac death?thanks

Accepted Answer

Any degree of LVH remains a risk for arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, although the risk is higher with degree of LVH, age and other cardiac risk factors. In one study, the risk of sudden cardiac death was 7%, particularly in the setting of atrial fibrillation. Treating hypertension, weight loss, alcohol cessation may reverse LVH and reduce risks of arrhythmia.

Question 7

How concerned should i be with an aortic valve area of 1.09 and mild left ventricular hypertrophy, left axis deviation and t wave abnormality ?

Accepted Answer

What is l ventricular ejection fraction?
      "    "    cardiac output?
Your cardiologist should be explaining your condition, treatment,  and exercise plan in detail.

Question 8

Mother 83 yrs has gd iv mitral & tricuspid regurg gr iii aortic regurg conc left ventricular hypertrophy, mild pulmon hyper ef 57% rest is ok  advice?

Accepted Answer

Cardiologist to best manage these issues.

Question 9

What does this mean? "concentric left ventricular hypertrophy"?

Accepted Answer

concentric LVH means that the left ventricular walls are all thickened symmetrically. Sometimes different parts of the wall thicken more than others, this is not the case in concentric type.

Question 10

I was told that i have moderate concentric left ventricular hypertrophy 65%-70%, how worried should i be?

Accepted Answer

If this measurement was taken from an EKG it is rather specific, but an echocardiogram is more accurate. Some pathology like hypertension or aortic valve damage is exerting strain.LVH is serious&as it worsens heart function weakens in time leading to eventual congestive heart failure. Consult a cardiologist to determine its cause,prescribe appropriate treatment& provide long-term follow up.care.
