Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / December 2004Left Ventricular Hypertrophy advice needed
Hello, I am anxious to my possibility of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. If you can give me some advice, it would be really appreciated. I am male and 31 years old. Last week I went to my doctor's office to do routine physical exam. ECG said that I have the possibility of LVH. Doctor made an another appointment today to use echocardiography do further verification. The result will come out two weeks later. But, from his first judgement, he said that echo has the indicator of LVH caused by valvular problem. He will give me his decision after final report comes out. My heart beat, blood pressure, boold test and urine test are all normal. My parent don't have heart disease. I am in low mood today. If possible, please answer my following questions: 1. In my condition, how much is the possibility of LVH caused by valvular disease? 2. Is valvular disease recoverable or controlable? 3. Is it a fatal problem? 4. Statistically, how long can patients live? 5. What should I be careful everyday? What kind of excise and food are benifit to control this kind of disease? Thanks for your any input.

My doctor said that I have slight left ventricular hypertrophy and mild mitral valve regurgitation. He also told me don't worry too much about it and don't have to take any medicine. I copy the report data here and hope someone can give me a further analysis for me. Thanks for any information.
