Great information..I appreciate my own GP is very busy and so an explanation of this length isn't possible even after a diagnosis. Really good of you to take the time to do this. Thank you!
Four months ago I was admitted to the cardiac i c u, i did an angiogram n i have a blockage in the left anterior descending artery. Thank you so much for explaining everything in detail
I was diagnosed with borderline left ventricular hypertrophy very recently, it was kind of brushed off as not big deal, I know that it's a big deal and it is a very big predictor in having an adverse cardiac event.
@@lionhearttt3540 I can relate, A few days ago I went to see the cardiologist for my results and he told me I have cardiomyopathy and he acted the same as if its not much of a big deal and gave me a beta blocker and a blood pressure med and I gave never taken meds except for a tylenol or motrin very seldom. I am thinking about seeing another cardiologist. This is scary and he was too calm. And I hear beta blockers dont do much. I hear the ARB's are the way to go.

I've been diagnosed with LVH this past summer and I am 24. I have hipertension since I was a young teenager, only until my 20s did I start taking medication for it. Today my GP has told me that in 90% of the cases LVH is not reversible, and it has scared me very much. I am so young, I just want to live life and reach my 60s. I am overweight but I have my high blood pressure under control and I try to stay as active as possible. I just want to know that in doing all of this, there will be a good outcome for me. Please, I'm very scared and anxious :(
bodhi hi I juz want to ask you something because I got also diagnose with mild LVH..what are the symptoms do you have for now?do you feel shortness of breath and fatigue?
Sanjay,you've pulled of the veil covering cardiology to allow novices make adequate lifestyle adjustments with a view to improving the quality of life .Namaste !
This showed up on an ECG on myself before a small operation.. I do train hard with running and weight lifting and with my work which is physical .so I'm putting down as an Athletic type of the issue as I'm slim .Thank you for explaining this medical issue .
@@ShahNawaz-hy1rtwhat causes high heart beat? I have LVH diagnosed today. My heart has to contract hard at times. No, it's not palpitation, but I feel it pounding.
I am pretty fit at 64. My ejection fraction 4 years ago was 64%. After daily cardio vascular exercises and sit and hiit it has increased to 75%. But no LVT or Muscular Cardiomyopathy ,( echo ,stress tests,CT and X ray evidence ). It's probably a good thing but probably I need to step off the gas.Blood pressure OK at 115/76 and resting HR at 57.
You are such a smart man...that's all I can say. Everything you talk about makes so much sense!!! One question...does lack of sleep affect the heart in any way?? Just wondering.
I'm 25 and have LVH due to my untreated PDA, but have it close last month with device closure.. I wonder if my heart will return to normal size? And I'm still having chest pains and respiratory tract infections even though my heart is fixed and it bothers me a lot sometimes...
I'm 21 with normal blood pressure and healthy weight. I had this problem when 17 and i did athletics but they just told me to rest a few months after an echo test came up normal. I went in again recently and the problem has not gone away on an ecg, yet it has not got worse either. I run a lot less nowadays. Is there much to be concerned about? Many thanks
Excellent way of putting across such a serious topic and boosting the confidence of patients. Can you enlighten me / viewers on Ventricular dysfunction and oblige.
I'm 46 and diagnosed with LVH. My blood pressure is normal. However, I am overweight, and had an ablation for atrial flutter. My heart rate went up to 250 bpm. After the ablation, my heart rate has always been unusually high. My cardiologist told me to loose weight, and it can be reversed. But I'm wondering if this is the reason why I have LVH. I really hope and pray my heart goes back to normal.
How long has your heart rate been that high? Does it literally stay that high throughout the day, sustained for a long time? Any meds to control it? I’m 23, had horrible panic attacks/anxiety for the past few yrs, where my heart could race on a daily basis. I’m thinking my LVH is from that, from all the stress on the heart beating too fast.
My elder brother was diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy just a day before he died of heart attack.He was not having any history of heart diseases, I was just wondering how this happened? He was sometimes having high blood pressure and redness in eyes but not always.
@@YorkCardiology i recently was diagnosed. I have Been feeling tightness for a couple years. I feel like thyroid meds made it worse. I was diagnosed with severe. I changed my life completely. I hope i can turn this around..

I don’t know if I could get a stent there or not. I have the by pass in 2007. I would have to be defibrillator several times that’s when the heart became in large. ❤
I had an echo 2.5 years ago and was told everything was fine. I just now got ahold of my report on the patient portal and it shows mild concentric LVH with dialated atrium!!! The doc never told me this!!! Measurements: IVSd 1.1 cm, LVPWd 1.1 cm, LA dimension 3.9 cm, LVIDd 4.8 cm, LVIDs 3.3 cm, RVDd 3.4 cm, AO root 2.7, EF 60-65%. Why would they say it’s “fine?” It was investigated because the nuclear stress test showed reversible defect and the angiogram was clear he said wide open arteries. I just don’t get it. All this has caused major stress and anxiety.

Hey sanjav i have an lvh diagnosed by echo , i want to discuss with u , is it an atheletic heart due to physiological changes or pathological changes by the terminology of left ventricular parameters
what abt size abt ur heart chamer.size....if chambers are enlarged in relation to thickness then its athlitic....otherwise its may be due to HTN ...so u shd control HTN...if u have no pathology otherthan LVH u shd do B.P measurement 3 times.daily for a week along with ur pulse and proceed accordingly
@@Dr-789 my mother's chest xray shows left ventricular preponderance she is recovering from covid its been 15days she had to took steriods but she has no symptoms like breathlessness or chest pain her blood pressure is normal her body weight is normal and she is vegetarian .only thing is she is diabetic that too under control.
Im thin , and I have been seeing my visible heart beat through my chest for about 1 month now , n I went to doctor they say im healthy , and I'm suffering from anxiety should I be worried ?
That seems to be the standard answer. I've spoke with Dr Gupta, I do suffer from anxiety ptsd. For over a year now I have been to the ER/ED 2 times for palpitations PVCs. Now, not saying you have anxiety, but once we "notice these symptoms" we tend to not forget them. Most Dr.'s don't consider the patients distress when they leave feeling unsure what was meant and said. Hence, in my case...your potassium was a little low could be causing the pvcs, but mainly your anxiety. Your heart looks fine. Don't overthink it. Now. I am a Paramedic, I was trained that a patient with Pvcs less than 6 per minute not to treat, or 25 percent we STILL don't treat unless there are SYMPTOMS. I.E. LOW Blood pressure dizziness etc. In situations where there is a separation between ELECTRIC SIGNALS on the monitor showing a heart rate of...say 70..and a mechanical function...the pump...or pulse of 30. I experienced that, I have a new compassion for the patients I have seen or see, who maybe freaked out over palpitations or feeling their heart beat in their chest or throat etc. Feel free to respond back if you wish. I KNOW exactly how it can increase anxiety. A lot of things can make your heart seem its pounding in your chest, and seeing your heart beat in your chest is normal if your mid to thin built, most people don't notice it or pay it much attention. I have counted heart rate by observing chest thuds or even in the middle knoctch of the throat, my son is thin, and you can watch his boom boom...BOOM....boom. while he is standing still. Hope this helps ease your mind, if not, feel free to reach out and I'll reply as soon as I can. I am NOT a Dr. But I am experienced in medical interventions and my personal story. God Bless.
I am 32 yrs old and was diagnosed with left venrtricular remodeling with RWT of 0.49cm and LVMI of 85gm/m2. And also mitral valve prolapse and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. With normal 64% EF. I'm not hypertensive. Is it possible to reverse it? Does it decrease my life span? Im too scared doctor Thank you very much.
Dr. I am 53 was diagnosed severe LVH in 2010 my angiography is normal ECHO is suggestive of only LVH and nothing else. My ECG readings are still unchanged ,same i.e. global changes . Since then I m on antihypertensive drug betabloger. My cardiologist says it is Not a heart disease.plz suggest as second opinion.
Excellent explanation, as always. Many thanks. Recently I was detected with mild left ventricular hypertrophy and ever since I have brented getting 15-20 isotopic beats (svpc and vpc). Also, I am quite over weight. As per BMI, I should be 64 kg, but am 99 (after reducing by 7 kg in last 2 months). Had CABG in 2008. Main left artery was 98% blocked. Had few angina but no heart attack. If you could be kind enough to tell... will loosing substantial weight (30 kg or so) and walking 5 miles a day... will reduce left ventricular hypertrophy and take care of isotopic beats? Will be very greatful if you can guide the right way to keep my heart healthy and get rid of isotopes. Thanks!
+York Cardiology Thank You !! Will work on both. Loose weight and get regular cardiovascular exercise and revert with results by this year end. Also started having Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg once daily. Will revert with its results. Million thanks again!
I have lvh very Informative have statins and 99%plant based hopefully hoping for regression a little bit 🙏 don't take a lot of protien to keep my system undernourished use plant protien combinations like rice and lentils so my body has to make protiens for use rather than break down animal protiens I am also indian so this diet suits me don't use seed oils very dangerous wish I had known all this when I was younger
Hello Dr. Gupta and thank you for the best explanation from the whole internet about my condition! I was diagnosed recently with severe left ventricle hypertrophy, LBBB complete, mitral valve regurgitation 2, Tricupsal valve 1! I never had hypertension only a huge pulse (like 100 while lying down without medics 80 with beta blockers). I always feel pain in my left chest and I have palpitations no matter what! The doctors in my country don’t really care explaining to people, only take our money. He told me is nothing I can do about it! So I will die because of that? What should I understand? My only treatment is 50 mg metoprolol daily and a statin. I’m very worried! I’m getting tired from basic walking NYHA III. Please Dr. Gupta can you tell me if I’m in huge risk? I’m 40 only!

I had a 2dEcho and the result says Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal wall motion, contractility and systolic function. And my Doctor said I have nothing to worry about. I am really confused
Hello Dr. echo result shows my IVSd to be 1.6cm and my LVPWd is 1.4cm but my cardiologist stated that my Left Ventricle is normal even though these readings go beyond the range specified on the result. My EF is 65%. Do you think this interpretation is accurate?. Also my BP rose to 220/70 during stress test but normal at rest. Thanks

I think stronger boxer beats nimble-footed boxer see GoT 11:11 zero proof that hypertrophied muscular heart is more stiff or scarred. Obviously that does not apply to athletes, so why would it apply to the general case? 12:23 the kidneys not getting enough blood has only to do with insufficient blood pressure, and absolutely nothing else, such as the assumed deformity of the heart 13:52 the boxer doesn't get weaker if he keeps working out. No papers about the heart 'getting weaker'. CVD/high blood pressure just correlates with vascular damage, having the same cause, lack of vitamin C etc. So the higher bp, the more vascular damage, from lack of proper collagen maintenance without vitamin C, ie stiff arteries also means stiffer heart. So that's why you see hypertrophy (to pump enough blood through stiffer arteries) and heart stiffening occur at the same time, from same cause but completely different mechanisms. Ie hypertrophy has nothing to do with stiffening heart tissue. In particular, athlete hypertrophied hearts are not stiffer. 14:47 this is another ridiculous narrative. Thicker muscles outstripping their blood supply, like where have you ever heard that. If the muscles didn't have the blood supply they wouldn't be able to grow in the first place. If any part of the body gets enough oxygen it's the heart, with first dibs of oxygenated blood. If the coronary arteries are clogged that's cvd. 16:50 there is never a shift of work to the atrium 'as the ventricle gets weak'. I'm not even going to research that sorry. 17:42 what you are referring to is the ventricle not fully contracting because of the fibrillation, that's different. 18:50 now you're making the assumption that the athlete's heart would be happier if it didn't have to work as much cause small is beautiful. Seriously there is no indication that such hearts are prone to any more problems than regular sized. "For most people, the development of a large heart is not a pathological sign--rather, it is a desirable outcome that will enhance performance on the sports field, and will allow longer independence in old age." The athlete's heart: is big beautiful? 1996 Anyhow doctors try to pathologize the athlete heart, but obviously they are barking up the wrong tree here (nothing ever shown to be problematic). So again, hypertrophy is no problem at all, cvd is.
You can't really "cure" the condition. HOWEVER.. by reducing your blood pressure via DIET not artificially by medications, and walking 20 to 30 min 2 or 3 times a week. Now, if you don't use a muscle very much (think working out your right arm and not your left), the muscle begins to Hypotrophy. So thinning the blood out (beets and greens which are high in potassium, and vitamin D, Himalayan salt (some Dr will disagree with that) but you need MAGNESIUM CALCIUM POTASSIUM SODIUM balance) many of us are low in magnesium and low in potassium. Now..little long but to answer in short terms. Breathing exercises, 6to8 breaths a minute, and sleeping 7 to 9 hours a night, which is when our body repairs itself is a great start. It takes time to build muscle, as it will take time to "shrink it". It all depends on the cause. That is where you look at do I have high blood pressure? Sleep apnea? Am I sitting hours a day with getting up and moving? Do I have breathing issues? Ask questions of yourself and jot them down for your doctor, and see if he can tell you the cause. Find the cause, reverse the cause, then you can reverse the big or small muscle or at least slow down its progression. I am not a Dr. I am a Paramedic, and I have called Dr Gupta and consulted him with my own issues. It is well worth the time and money. He is a fantastic person and listens tentatively. Not to mention, he is not a big fan of medication to fix things, so not a big pharma pusher. Hope this helps. Take what I say for research not a direct answer. But hopefully it hints to a suitable answer for you both. Be Blessed.

Most Dr.'s don't consider the patients distress when they leave feeling unsure what was meant and said. Hence, in my case...your potassium was a little low could be causing the pvcs, but mainly your anxiety. Your heart looks fine. Don't overthink it. Now. I am a Paramedic, I was trained that a patient with Pvcs less than 6 per minute not to treat, or 25 percent we STILL don't treat unless there are SYMPTOMS. I.E. LOW Blood pressure dizziness etc. In situations where there is a separation between ELECTRIC SIGNALS on the monitor showing a heart rate of...say 70..and a mechanical function...the pump...or pulse of 30. I experienced that, I have a new compassion for the patients I have seen or see, who maybe freaked out over palpitations or feeling their heart beat in their chest or throat etc. Feel free to respond back if you wish. I KNOW exactly how it can increase anxiety. A lot of things can make your heart seem its pounding in your chest, and seeing your heart beat in your chest is normal if your mid to thin built, most people don't notice it or pay it much attention. I have counted heart rate by observing chest thuds or even in the middle knoctch of the throat, my son is thin, and you can watch his boom boom...BOOM....boom. while he is standing still. Hope this helps ease your mind, if not, feel free to reach out and I'll reply as soon as I can. I am NOT a Dr. But I am experienced in medical interventions and my personal story. God Bless.

I am 32 yrs old and was diagnosed with left venrtricular remodeling with RWT of 0.49cm and LVMI of 85gm/m2. And also mitral valve prolapse and grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. With normal 64% EF. I'm not hypertensive. Is it possible to reverse it? Does it decrease my life span? Im too scared doctor
Thank you very much.
When you were diagnosed with this problem?
My ekg says my voltage criteria for lvh exceeds 4.00mv. But my doctor says its normal. Talk to me please
He should make an ultrasound of the heart, only there can you see the LVH
@@maltimoto he did but said there wasn't any lvh. That im skinny therefore the voltage through the electrodes was high
@@okpoleemy ekg says probable lvh... And i am too skinny should i do 2d echo as my doctor say no need to wory
@@rizwan308 request for it so you can know for sure
Is this the same as lv diastolic dysfunction?
Can mild dilatation of the left ventricle be revised by loosing weight x
No
Dr. I am 53 was diagnosed severe LVH in 2010 my angiography is normal ECHO is suggestive of only LVH and nothing else. My ECG readings are still unchanged ,same i.e. global changes . Since then I m on antihypertensive drug betabloger.
My cardiologist says it is Not a heart disease.plz suggest as second opinion.
Do you have angina
How are you doing now?
Which drugs were u given
Excellent explanation, as always. Many thanks.
Recently I was detected with mild left ventricular hypertrophy and ever since I have brented getting 15-20 isotopic beats (svpc and vpc). Also, I am quite over weight. As per BMI, I should be 64 kg, but am 99 (after reducing by 7 kg in last 2 months).
Had CABG in 2008. Main left artery was 98% blocked. Had few angina but no heart attack.
If you could be kind enough to tell... will loosing substantial weight (30 kg or so) and walking 5 miles a day... will reduce left ventricular hypertrophy and take care of isotopic beats?
Will be very greatful if you can guide the right way to keep my heart healthy and get rid of isotopes. Thanks!
yes definitely...losing the weight and getting good cardiovascular exercise will do both
+York Cardiology Thank You !! Will work on both. Loose weight and get regular cardiovascular exercise and revert with results by this year end.
Also started having Magnesium Glycinate 400 mg once daily. Will revert with its results.
Million thanks again!
Please, What are some of the cardio exercises that can help reverse LV hypertrophy alongside lifestyle changes?
Give me ur no bro I have to discuss the same plz?
@@safalsuri hlo can u please explain what exercise
I have lvh very Informative have statins and 99%plant based hopefully hoping for regression a little bit 🙏 don't take a lot of protien to keep my system undernourished use plant protien combinations like rice and lentils so my body has to make protiens for use rather than break down animal protiens I am also indian so this diet suits me don't use seed oils very dangerous wish I had known all this when I was younger
Doctor i have mild lvh can it be reversed?
I have been told I have this but was told heart function is 50-55% I am overweight wonder if I lose weight will my heart go back to normal
I've been told it does go back to normal.... how are you doing now,?
Hello Dr. Gupta and thank you for the best explanation from the whole internet about my condition! I was diagnosed recently with severe left ventricle hypertrophy, LBBB complete, mitral valve regurgitation 2, Tricupsal valve 1! I never had hypertension only a huge pulse (like 100 while lying down without medics 80 with beta blockers). I always feel pain in my left chest and I have palpitations no matter what! The doctors in my country don’t really care explaining to people, only take our money. He told me is nothing I can do about it! So I will die because of that? What should I understand? My only treatment is 50 mg metoprolol daily and a statin. I’m very worried! I’m getting tired from basic walking NYHA III. Please Dr. Gupta can you tell me if I’m in huge risk? I’m 40 only!

I had a 2dEcho and the result says Concentric left ventricular hypertrophy with normal wall motion, contractility and systolic function. And my Doctor said I have nothing to worry about. I am really confused
Hello Dr. echo result shows my IVSd to be 1.6cm and my LVPWd is 1.4cm but my cardiologist stated that my Left Ventricle is normal even though these readings go beyond the range specified on the result. My EF is 65%. Do you think this interpretation is accurate?. Also my BP rose to 220/70 during stress test but normal at rest. Thanks
Interesting.I have 1.5 cm walls (LV) and also the ventricle size is normal. Strange. EF is 70%.

Is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy similar to lvh
No hypertrophy cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease and lvh is a some other disease that cause like High blood pressure high heart rate and the disease that cause heart to work more
@@ShahNawaz-hy1rt thank you for explaining that to me.
My systolic is below 118 and diastolic is 64 is it because of LVH? IVSD is 11mm
my echo just showed left ventricular hypertrophy and my question is can this cause edema? this was the main reason along with heart fluttering and shortness of breathe so my doc ordered the test. but my biggest symtpom is edema in foot and left hand swollen and numb.
Yeah it can cause edema. How are you doing now?
I was on dexamethasone 8mg for 14 days following a lung infection after that I development chest pain ECG was normal but echo showed lvh what should I do.

I think stronger boxer beats nimble-footed boxer see GoT
11:11 zero proof that hypertrophied muscular heart is more stiff or scarred. Obviously that does not apply to athletes, so why would it apply to the general case?
12:23 the kidneys not getting enough blood has only to do with insufficient blood pressure, and absolutely nothing else, such as the assumed deformity of the heart
13:52 the boxer doesn't get weaker if he keeps working out. No papers about the heart 'getting weaker'. CVD/high blood pressure just correlates with vascular damage, having the same cause, lack of vitamin C etc. So the higher bp, the more vascular damage, from lack of proper collagen maintenance without vitamin C, ie stiff arteries also means stiffer heart. So that's why you see hypertrophy (to pump enough blood through stiffer arteries) and heart stiffening occur at the same time, from same cause but completely different mechanisms.
Ie hypertrophy has nothing to do with stiffening heart tissue.
In particular, athlete hypertrophied hearts are not stiffer.
14:47 this is another ridiculous narrative. Thicker muscles outstripping their blood supply, like where have you ever heard that. If the muscles didn't have the blood supply they wouldn't be able to grow in the first place. If any part of the body gets enough oxygen it's the heart, with first dibs of oxygenated blood. If the coronary arteries are clogged that's cvd.
16:50 there is never a shift of work to the atrium 'as the ventricle gets weak'. I'm not even going to research that sorry.
17:42 what you are referring to is the ventricle not fully contracting because of the fibrillation, that's different.
18:50 now you're making the assumption that the athlete's heart would be happier if it didn't have to work as much cause small is beautiful. Seriously there is no indication that such hearts are prone to any more problems than regular sized.
"For most people, the development of a large heart is not a pathological sign--rather, it is a desirable outcome that will enhance performance on the sports field, and will allow longer independence in old age."
The athlete's heart: is big beautiful? 1996
Anyhow doctors try to pathologize the athlete heart, but obviously they are barking up the wrong tree here (nothing ever shown to be problematic).
So again, hypertrophy is no problem at all, cvd is.
How do we treat this
depends on the reason forLVH. If it is blood pressure, lower the blood pressure. But there are other reasons as well
Please answer David Pearls question: what can we do about this condition?
You can't really "cure" the condition. HOWEVER.. by reducing your blood pressure via DIET not artificially by medications, and walking 20 to 30 min 2 or 3 times a week. Now, if you don't use a muscle very much (think working out your right arm and not your left), the muscle begins to Hypotrophy. So thinning the blood out (beets and greens which are high in potassium, and vitamin D, Himalayan salt (some Dr will disagree with that) but you need MAGNESIUM CALCIUM POTASSIUM SODIUM balance) many of us are low in magnesium and low in potassium.
Now..little long but to answer in short terms.
Breathing exercises, 6to8 breaths a minute, and sleeping 7 to 9 hours a night, which is when our body repairs itself is a great start. It takes time to build muscle, as it will take time to "shrink it". It all depends on the cause. That is where you look at do I have high blood pressure? Sleep apnea? Am I sitting hours a day with getting up and moving? Do I have breathing issues? Ask questions of yourself and jot them down for your doctor, and see if he can tell you the cause. Find the cause, reverse the cause, then you can reverse the big or small muscle or at least slow down its progression. I am not a Dr. I am a Paramedic, and I have called Dr Gupta and consulted him with my own issues. It is well worth the time and money. He is a fantastic person and listens tentatively. Not to mention, he is not a big fan of medication to fix things, so not a big pharma pusher. Hope this helps. Take what I say for research not a direct answer. But hopefully it hints to a suitable answer for you both. Be Blessed.
