LVH is usually caused by high blood pressure. It may also be caused by a heart problem, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or a heart valve problem like aortic valve stenosis.
What causes left ventricular volume overload? High blood pressure.
LV pressure overload frequently results from hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and occasionally from aortic stenosis. Pressure overload causes increased wall stress during systole, rising cardiomyocyte proliferation and wall thickening with preservation, or reduction of cavity volume (concentric hypertrophy).
What causes ventricular overload?
High blood pressure.
Also called hypertension, this is the most common cause of left ventricular hypertrophy. Long-term high blood pressure strains the left side of the heart, causing it to grow bigger. Treating high blood pressure can help reduce left ventricular hypertrophy symptoms and may even reverse
