A member asked:
My father has mild lv hypertrophy. i have recently taken up endurance sports, and was wondering if there is something that i should be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mild left ventricular hypertrophy is quite common in people with history of hypertension. You should not worry about this condition if you are healthy with blood pressure less than 120/80. You should continue to participate in endurance sports ad lib.
