Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I can certainly understand your concerns and have worked through your query in detail.
Left ventricular hypertrophy is primarily due to elevated blood pressure over a long period of time.
This will mainly cause increased external workload on the heart against which it has to pump blood to meet the body demands.
This over a period of time will cause the heart muscle to increase in muscle thickness leading to ventricular hypertrophy.
This can serve as a risk factor for heart disease particularly
ischemic heart disease like
Myocardial infarction.
Hence, it is important to keep the blood pressure under control to prevent such events.
I advise you to take anti
hypertension medication that can reverse this ventricular hypertrophy and eliminate the risk for heart disease.
Drugs like Ace inhibitors (
Losartan) will be helpful in this regard.
A periodic echo and ecg of the heart will also be helpful in monitoring the reversibility of ventricular hypertrophy.
Diet low in sodium content is equally important.
Please check with your Cardiologist if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills and investigations to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
