A member asked:
Please explain simply what is mild concentric ventricular hypertrophy with mild left atrial dilation?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Will try : Mild concentric ventricular hypertrophy means that the heart muscle is mildly thickened all around. This can be seen in people with longstanding hypertension not yet optimally controlled. Mild left atrial dilation means that the top chamber of the heart on the left side is slightly big. This may be due to problems with the heart valves on the left side of the heart, heart rhythm problems, etc.

Left heart large: The main pumping chamber of the heart ( l ventricle) is evenly increased in size so that the pumping cavity is a bit smaller. The priming pump ( l atrium) is mildly enlarged. This is very likely due to uncontrolled high BP over many years. Because it is mild i would not expect any symptoms or functional difficulty at all. Treatment is to control bp.
