Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) causes the walls of the left ventricle to become thicker than normal. They are normally 4-5 mm thick; however, if HCM is present they may become over 10 mm thick. As they thicken they also become stiffer and less able to contract with the force needed to send blood to the distant parts of the body.

CHF left-sided heart failure results in fluid backing up in the lungs, causing shortness of breath. Valvular insufficiency: There are several causes for valvular insufficiency. The most common series is aortic stenosis. The valve narrows, reducing the amount of blood that can be pumped to the body by the ventricle.
Left ventricular hypertrophy - Mayo Clinic
Disease characterized by inappropriate enlargement or thickening of the heart muscle of the left ventricle (known as “hypertrophic cardiomyopathy” or HCM) Masses (such as a tumor or blood clot [known as a “thrombus”]) in the left atrium. Blood clots in the lungs (known as “pulmonary thromboembolism”)

Aortic insufficiency occurs when the aortic valve fails to close properly, allowing blood in the aorta to flow back into the left ventricle during diastole. This tends to overfill the left ventricles causing a large heart on chest x-ray and an increased left ventricular internal diameter (LVID) on echocardiogram.

The most common inherited causes of “hypercoagulability” are: a) Factor V Leiden, an abnormal factor V that is RESISTANT to the normal coagulation inhibition of protein C; and b) abnormal prothrombin gene mutations that lead to excessive blood levels of the clotting factor, prothrombin;

It brings blood to the lateral wall of the LV (i.e. the left-most side of the heart). Occlusion can lead to MI in this location. The LCCA also supplies the papillary muscles. These are the small muscles within the left ventricle to which the leaflets of the mitral valve are attached.
