Treatment for enlarged left ventricle
How serious is an enlarged ventricle?
An enlarged left ventricle, one of the most serious types of enlarged heart, increases the risk of heart failure. In heart failure, your heart muscle weakens, and the ventricles stretch (dilate) to the point that the heart can't pump blood efficiently throughout your body.
What is LVH on EKG?
Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) refers to an increase in the size of myocardial fibers in the main cardiac pumping chamber. Such hypertrophy is usually the response to a chronic pressure or volume load. ●The two most common pressure overload states are systemic hypertension and aortic stenosis.
Is mild LVH serious?
Extent of heart chamber enlargement may be controllable. The major danger of LVH is a significant increase in the risk of coronary artery disease and heart attacks. LVH also is associated with greater likelihood of congestive heart failure, heart rhythm disturbances, strokes and premature death from cardiovascular disease.
How serious is left atrial enlargement?
Left atrial enlargement is a significant risk factor for atrial fibrillation, a dangerous and difficult-to-treat arrhythmia of the heart, which makes a person vulnerable to strokes. Obesity is a key factor in developing left atrial enlargement.

Left-sided congestive heart failure (L-CHF) is a life-threatening condition caused by venous congestion secondary to increased left atrial pressure. This pressure occurs when the left ventricle is unable to ade-quately fill with or eject blood because of a primary structural or functional cardiac condition.1

When a heart is unhealthy, the left ventricle wall becomes enlarged and weakened, stretching the opening of the mitral valve and allowing blood to flow backwards into the atrium.

circulation usually due to an enlarged size. With left-sided systolic failure the ventricle walls become thin, weak, enlarge, and lose tone as they stretch out. The other left sided dysfunction is called left-sided diastolic failure (or dysfunction). The left ventricle loses its ability to relax normally (because the muscle has become stiff).

People often have an enlarged or “stretched-out” heart. Heart Failure is described as either: SYSTOLIC dysfunction, where the heart doesn’t pump out all of the blood in the left ventricle (the main pump of the heart). The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is. less than. 40%.

Treatment is determined by the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Cats in advanced disease are in congestive heart failure and treated with several drugs to keep the cat from dying. Diltiazem is used to relax the walls of the left ventricle so more blood can enter and so it can contract with more force. Propranolol is used to slow the heart rate when it is beating too fast ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy - Diagnosis and treatment - Mayo Clinic
Surgery is recommended to treat the aortic valve if the ejection fraction drops below 60 percent, or if the left ventricle is enlarged (larger than 50 millimeters). Your doctor may recommend surgical treatment of the valve if these changes in your left ventricle are detected by ultrasound, even if you do not have symptoms. Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend: Valve repair ...

When either the right or left ventricle lose the ability to handle the extra or increased preload; there is a back up of fluid. If the left ventricle is involved, the fluid back up reaches the pulmonary bed and causes symptoms such as shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, orthopnea and pulmonary edema will present. If the right ventricle is involved the fluid backs up into the systemic ...

The increased end-diastolic left ventricle pressure leads to subsequent elevated LA, pulmonary venous, and pulmonary capillary pressures, responsible for LA enlargement and dyspnea. In these conditions, the atrial systole becomes very important for LV filling, explaining why atrial fibrillation is assessed like a severe condition in patients with HCM.
