What is mild left ventricle hypertrophy concentric ?? is it dangerous? -

for someone who have hypertension and use pills for high blood pressure for a while now ...

Hypertrophy in medical terms means enlargement of the size and concentric means all round. In terms of heart, concentric LV hypertrophy means that the muscle of the left sided pumping chamber of the heart has increased in size and thickness. This usually occurs because of either high blood pressure or any obstruction to the outflow of blood from the left heart. Commonest example of latter is narrowing of the valve (aortic valve). I suppose only your doctor can tell you as to the real reason of this LV hypertrophy. Remedial measures can only be taken once you know the cause of LV hypertrophy.

Yes, you should be concerned. The echo just reflects the bad effects that the blood pressure has had on your heart. However, the cause of all your problems appears to be the high blood pressure. Its paroxysmal nature bothers me. You should see a high blood pressure specialist (usually a cardiologist, in some places the kidney doctor) to be evaluated for several forms of quot;secondary hypertension.quot; This refers to various causes of paroxysmal hypertension or severely elevated blood pressure, such as endocrine disorders, certain tumors and certain kidney diseases; these are all treatable and curable, unlike plain old hypertension which usually requires lifelong medications. I feel it is very important that you see such a specialist. : I hope this has been useful.

Welcome to the club. You have a part of your heart expanding and filling in the inside of your heart. In most people this develops fully by mid-twenties, and goes no further. Yes it is dangerous. It slows down how much you can handle in a day, and there is a mild risk of sudden death, such as happened to my sister at age 35 by the way. If it is caused by an infection it could kill in a few months. Otherwise you get the spend the rest of your days with a minor handicap on the rate of exercise you can handle. You would improve your chances of stability if you got down to a slender weight without any medical problems. If you stay with hypertension and stress, there is a real chance it could continue getting worse for the rest of your life.
