    Glossary Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

    thickening of the heart's left ventricle muscle wall

    Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) is a condition where the muscle wall of the heart's left ventricle thickens. This thickening can result from high blood pressure or other heart conditions, and it can lead to reduced heart efficiency and increased risk of cardiovascular events.
