It is clinical condition which is characterized by thickening of ventricular walls in the heart. Mostly left ventricular hypertrophy is common. Common cause of ventricular hypertrophy is hypertension, aortic valve stenosis, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and Athletic training. It can be manged by using ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II receptor blockers, Thiazide diuretics, Beta blockers and Calcium channel blockers.Left ventricular hypertrophy is enlargement and thickening (hypertrophy) of the walls of your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle). Left ventricular hypertrophy can develop in response to some factor — such as high blood pressure or a heart condition — that causes the left ventricle to work harder.
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). Electrical signals are recorded as they travel through your heart. Your doctor can look for patterns that indicate abnormal heart function and increased left ventricle muscle tissue.
Echocardiogram. Sound waves produce live-action images of your heart. Echocardiogram can reveal thickened muscle tissue in the left ventricle, blood flow through the heart with each beat, and heart abnormalities related to left ventricular hypertrophy, such as aortic valve stenosis.
MRI. Images of your heart can be used to diagnose left ventricular hypertrophy.
