Left Ventricular Hypertrophy - Causes, Symptoms & Herbal Remedies

left ventricular hypertrophy

Cardiac hypertrophy is defined as an increase in the size and weight of the myocardium.

This hypertrophy when occurs in the left valve of the heart is known as left ventricular hypertrophy. This is condition in which muscles of the heart that are pumping blood to the left valve becomes excessive thickened. The atria of the heart may also undergo compensatory changes due to increased work load.

The basic factors that stimulates left ventricular hypertrophy of the myocardial fibres are not known. It appears that stretching of myocardial fibres in response to stress induces the cells to increase in length. The elongated fibres receive better nutrition and thus increased in size.
