I love that he says "God has provided us with this valve." Good Doc right here.

I respect and treasure Dr. Gupta's information, his dedication, intelligence, education, and his willingness to share it. A wonderful doctor who has done the work and helped improved the quality of many lives and saved many others.

Thank you Dr Gupta, this is very informative. For years I left my high blood pressure unattended and I think it has damaged or weakened my left ventricular. I get fluid build-up in my legs and now find it hard to breathe even when I'm just walking. I never smoked, don't drink much alcohol and exercised but STRESS has got me. I just hope and pray its not to late to improve my heart.

LVH -> muscle get stiffer -> not enough relaxation -> not enough blood supply -> kidney sense this -> activation of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system -> salt and water retention -> symptoms of congestion and fluid in the lung (SOB, fatigue, orthopnea, PND )

Thank you so much. All I got was a printout of what I had. My doctor wouldn't explain it and just labeled as heart failure. The results said LVH and you answered all my questions. Thank You!!!!! I am 41 years old and lost 80lbs and didn't understand. I did a lot of strength training and wore compression wear which I believed was the cause. Also, I neglected my high blood pressure. Angiogram showed all clear arteries.

Awesome video, thank you so much! How can one REVERSE this? Please do a video on that! God bless you!

First class tutorial Dr Gupta, precise, detailed and easy to understand...Many thanks.

God bless you Doctor. Only a Almighty God can created such complex things as a Human Body ❤️🙏🏻

enjoyed your informative video, is it possible I damaged my heart doing strenous work and im usually not very active? my last years ecg was ok stress test ok, but after this vigerous work, the ecg now shows left artrial enlargemenr=t and right ventricular hypertrophy Im going for a echoacriogram next month. Im 60 years old female with not a history of high blood pressure. but some arthiymia. at times and a heart murmur. my dad died at 58 years old and my brother has heart failure at 66. my mom died of a stroke at 74. i have high cholesterol and high triglycerides. Im not over weight female. should i be concerned?

Dr, does Magnesium supplement help in heart muscle health ? If so which type of magnesium ? Also is it good to have CoQ10 supplements if diagnosed with LVH grade one Dystolic dysfunction?

Thank you so much. I've been trying to educate myself by reading but this was so much easier to understand.

My son, who is 27 years old, had had a stroke with brain bleed and he's also been diagnosed with lvh. The cardiologist says it's because of uncontrolled high blood pressure. They say he's very young to have this so this video helps me understand what exactly he has. Thank you.

I've been diagnosed with LVH, almost a year ago. With an MRI. Not because I had issues, more a regular check up. But recently (and actually that started years ago) I feel some chest pains with exercise (bicycle riding), and even with normal activities. I am 70 now. I don't have high blood pressure, never had. I did serious bike racing from age 28 to 42. In the 80s I had very good VO2max figures, and a rest heart rate of 40-45. I believe LVH can be caused by regular big physical efforts, like in bike racing and training. But it's not mentioned in the video. Any opinions would be appreciated.

Thank you. My father has just been diagnosed. Tis is so helpful

You’re absolutely brilliant and thank you so much for having more channels. Can’t thank you enough.

Was just diagnosed with this. I'm only 10 pounds overweight at this time, I spend an hour a day doing cardio and weight training. I don't smoke, drink, do drugs but both parents have heart disease. I'm a healthy looking 60 year old.

Thank you Sanjay.Very useful information.

thank you Doctor for very useful info .. i was diagnoesed with LVH year 2018, and started taking medications because i have this sinusitis, atherosclerosis too

I truly apreciate this video. My son was born with a coarctation in his aortic valve and he has aortic stenosis and was just recently told he has mild LV hypertrophy. I wasn't sure what that meant so I appreciate your video. Thank you!

Thank you doctor gi well explained I'm suffering fromlvh

iam not a medical student, but this is really interesting.

I was diagnosed in hosptial with LVH yesterday. Left ventricle muscle wall is 15 mm. Normal is up to 13 mm. EF is 70% which is good. Everything else is ok in the heart. I will see my doctor next week so that we start with Ramipril or something alike. Funny thing is, my blood pressure at home is 130/80, so not dangerous at all. I am asking myself how I got this horrible 15 mm with this kind of normal blood pressure.

Would you please answer me.... My husband has left ventricle hypertrophy.his cardiology prescribed him Valsartan 80mg.his case because of untreated hypertension. The problem is that my husband refused to take med. But he started to change his lifestyle..by fitness..and healthy diet, but I feel afraid because he has a bad family history of heart illness My question is..can he treat his hypertension and heart hypertrophy by only changing lifestyle .. and his blood pressure elevated until 145/100 But not all the time when he is under stress the blood pressure elevated . Waiting for your reply with great respect.

I was told by the doctor that I have a left ventricular hypertrophy and m sacred what does it min

Thsnk you. Great explanation. I was mild lvh now in 10 years moderate. They said it was hereditary. I've swelled during exercise all my life

Very informative and educational. I learned alot

Hi sir can i do extreme works if i have this lvh? Like entering to be a fireman? Thank you

Hello Dr. excellent explanation of Hypertrophy of the Left Ventricle. I understand the condition now and how it affects the heart function and it’s causes.

Can mitral regurgitation also cause expansion of the heart muscle ? Thanks for the video which was absolutely excellent….

Thanks for this . I’m a runner of 40 years standing now aged 65 . At 60 I noticed a slowing of my normal running times over various distances ( 6 miles , 13 miles ) . As the heart works hard during running and as I have run for 40 years is it possible ( the heart being a muscle that grows with resistance ) to get exercised induced LVH and are the consequences of exercise induced LVH the same as for “ the diseased “ heart . Will the exercise induced LVH return to normal size if all exercise is stopped for say 2 years . My blood pressure is 114/ 70 at 5 minutes after running and I have chest pain but more and more feel chest palpations .. Thank you so much - leslie Edwin

Dr Gupta,does not reply importsnt questions .does Mg Taurate interferes with Zinc?for afib is it the magnesium?

My family doctor said I have a dilated left ventricle and an enlarged heart. I did 3 years of intense running, and after about a 4 month break I've randomly started feeling fatigued and tired, and I recently developed high blood pressure, currently have a holter monitor on. I'm very anxious about what's going on, they saw pvc's in the er. He's not too concerned about the echo because I run, so he says that could cause my ventricle and heart enlargement, but I'm just unsure why I feel like this. HOPE it's not life threatening

What treatment for LVH? Can it be missed during echiocardiography ?

Thank you dor your definition and explaination on left ventricular hytropathy

Thank you for providing detailed information doctor!!

thanks. You saved me a lot of research time to understand my heart condition. (out of breath caused by fraction ejection)

Thank you doctor.you have explain it well to me.

Thank you for explaining this ,in understandable terms

I was diagnosed with mild lvh in 2015. After controlling high blood pressure, I have been diagnosed with normal lv now. Doctor what might be the cause of youth hypertension? I am 30 years old at present. So I was basically 27-28 when I was diagnosed with lvh.

Thank you so much, very informative. My sister has just been diagnosed with aortic stenosis so i was eager to understand what it was.

Please tell us about LBBB. My wife has it.

Thank you, you helped me uderstand my last 4EKGs. Now i wil take it more seriously.

this class z regard to causes of lvh.. symptoms???

Doctor, can you exercise like walking 2 or 3 miles a day if you have LVH?

Can exercise affect a patients left ventricle?

My husband was just diagnosed today w/LVH, not sure what they’re going to do as I wasn’t there. He didn’t tell me till just before he went to bed. Probably didn’t want to worry me.,His dad died suddenly at thevage of 52 of a pulmonary embolism. My husband is 61, 5’2 170 lbs..he has been on high blood pressure meds for years. He is also on cholesterol meds as he has a hereditary high cholesterol...at this appt they also apparently discovered something w/his liver. Heis having more blood work done and a follow up in 3 months.. but now I’m wondering if he should participate in the up coming Ride for Rosewell? He normally rides the 34 mile run..

I have LVH, i am taking atenolol

I loved it the way you explained it

Thank you so very much I have this problem and being seen by a great dr for It I found your video very helpful

When I was 20 years old, I was diagnosed with RHD and was told that my max age might be 30 if not treated well. Now I'm 24 and had my follow up check up. My ECG result today says I have LVH and yeah that brought me here. Anyways, will visit my Cardiologist ASAP.

I just did an Echo and my cardiologist said I have mild septal hypertrophy and concentric left ventricular remodeling with normal LV systolic function. My IVS is 12mm but I'm confused abt that remodeling.

Excellent video, thank you very much. Very informative.

Very well explained…Thank you so much Dr

Hi Dr thankyou for this video,today only I came to know that I suffer from this LVH problem after the ECG test so I just want to know is it serious because I'm very active social worker so that I can take care of myself my bp is always high sometimes it goes to 240/130 but I never feel dizziness or headache

God has provided… 🥰

Thank you so much for the valuable Info

Thank you for sharing. This is so Informative

Great explanation Doc, thanks!

Very informative. Thank you!

Awesome doctor...awesome knowledge..thanks a ton❤

Another brilliant explanation.

Very useful information Dr. Best wishes from india👍

Can a mild pulmonary Valve Regurgitation and mild mitral valve regurgitation cause Mild Concentric LVH? My cardiologist wasn’t concerned about the valves and ignored it and said my milf LVH could be from over training. But after researching I’ve found that it can cause it. Is this correct? Also my ECG is normal and my blood pressure is normal. She is now doing a calcium score test. I’m being tested for sleep apnea through a different service but I asked my cardiologist if sleep apnea could cause it and she say no. But I’ve researched it can. I’m thinking I may need an other opinion!

Thank you so much. May we exercise? When you can. Thank you.

A BIG THANK U Doctor. Very informative video. Do U have one reading a ECG.

What possible treatment can you have to solve this LVH issues??

What is the treatment? It’s curable?

Very nicely explained.

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.

What would be the better training method for an athlete with LVH, short high-intensity sessions, or longer medium-intensity training sessions?

What can I do to help/reverse this!?!?

If then doc how can we treat it.

I have an enlargement of heart left ventricle. What should I do?

Excellent!! Thank you.

I'm 22 years old and I recently got diagnosed with lvh.. What should I do

Sir, Please help me medicines to reduce BP and difficult in breathing due to LVH.

TY TY TY best explaination!

great lecture! thanks

I had identical twins born by emergency c section because twin b has left ventricular non compressed cardiomyopathy. From the day he was born he's had to see a cardiologist to monitor his condition. I was told by his cardiologist that there is nothing I can do to cure or slow down his condition and that he will most likely need to have a heart transplant by the age of 12 years old. My son will be 2 in April. He acts like a healthy toddler and is a happy young camper but I just don't feel right about the information provided by his cardiologist. As a mother it's a lot to take in. I was told he will most likely go through arrhythmias, strokes, and heart attacks as he gets older. My other twin doesn't have a heart condition. Our doctors have us doing a series of additional genetic testing to see what the cause of it could be yet they also tell me there's no treatment. I told them I'm pretty sure it's because my other twin had a velamentous umbilical cord and because they shared a placenta. Even though twin to twin transfusion was not the case I do believe my twin b was working harder to pump blood to his brother who was much smaller than he was. My twin with lvnc also had a cystic hygroma from the top of his head to the end his spinal cord and after being told he has a 10 percent chance of surviving and that I should abort i decided to leave it in god's hands. A week later when I was at 15weeks of gestation his cystic hygroma which was bigger than his head completely vanished. I assumed this could be part of the reason why he has lvnc also. I had a genetic test done for this as well where my doctor took DNA from the placenta to test for various diseases and chromosome defects. Everything came out normal. I guess I'm just looking for some advice or hope. I want so badly for my baby boy to live a long healthy life. It's hard. I want to be able to be there for all my children but when I'm told there's nothing I can do it just feels like I've been shot through the heart.

Today my ECG showed this anomaly!

Great video!

I had an ECG done a few weeks at my regular doctor. It showed up as abnormal. I didn't see the doctor. I saw the NP, so she advised me to see a cardiologist. Went to the cardiologist and they performed another one. I showed him the print out of the first one that I had done and he seemed shocked that a doctor would tell me to see a specialist based on that result. He did say the problem with the result was it's a machine giving you the diagnosis and not a doctor. It's perfectly normal for someone to have an ECG such as this. Nothing to be concerned about. Those were his exact words. I still seemed unsure so he said okay, we'll do an echo. I go in a week later to get that done. While it's being performed, I ask the tech how does it look? Of course, that was like asking the wall because they're not going to say anything. So a few days later, on my way to get blood work done, he calls. Your echo looks fine, everything looks good. So I'm at ease, but the office has one of those patient portals where you can see summaries of whatever tests they run and it's LVH? Wtf. I call back to ask what is going on because I'm getting conflicting info. His assistant says oh, the patient portal is just there for basic info and doesn't offer anything extensive or detailed, but she puts on hold to make sure. She said oh it's really mild and there's really nothing to worry about. Should I call back and ask for a copy of the echo so another doctor can see it because that doesn't make any sense.

Doctor pls echo shows thickened dimension of the interventricular septum (Ivsd 1.37cm) can this be revised. Please reply, am from Nigeria

Thank you for this

How about if you train with weights and cardio doesn’t it get thick

Thanks Dr

What's the solution for Left ventricular hypertrophy seen And Evidence of grade I Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction Please give me solution what i do what's the treatment for this

I like how u mentioned that God gave us valves,I really like and appreciate that always give God the praise no matter what is the consequence.

Hi Doc! I didn't hear you mention the symptoms.

Very usefull sir.. Thanks

brilliant 😊

One great video. Thanks for releasing it

Hey Doctor.. Thankyou so much for your details. What you have a Borderline left ventricular systolic dysfunction or Rheumatic heart disease with moderate mitral regurgutation... Is surgery more effective

Anemia causes LVH as this was my cause.

Is this the same as Papillary Muscle Hypertrophy?

Thanks Sanjay, very informative

Thank you

i was diagnosed with concentric left ventricular remodeling with adequate systolic function something. my cardiologist says that its normal but when i do physical exertion days after o felt breathing issues. i dont feel breathing issues during the exercise but days after

How bad is it that explains a lot of how I feel a lot of times my hands and feet go num from time to time I get dizzy have black circles under eyes all time light headed from time to time and it hits me all the sudden sometimes i need to lay down and rest get weak and winded easily

Can this result to bradycardia?
