Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a structural cardiac abnormality characterized by increased left ventricular mass resulting from increased wall thickness, left ventricular chamber enlargement, or both. Frequently developing in response to chronic pressure or volume overload, left ventricular hypertrophy may remain asymptomatic in early stages but can progress to dyspnea, chest pain, palpitations, syncope, exercise intolerance, heart failure, arrhythmias, ischemic events, or stroke. This course reviews the epidemiology, pathophysiology, etiologies, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, management, and complications of left ventricular hypertrophy. Participants learn to recognize risk factors and clinical manifestations, interpret diagnostic findings, identify underlying causes, and apply evidence-based treatment strategies, including lifestyle modification, pharmacologic therapy, device-based interventions, and surgical or catheter-based approaches when indicated. Emphasis is placed on preventing disease progression and reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Interprofessional collaboration among clinicians, cardiologists, nurses, pharmacists, rehabilitation specialists, and other healthcare professionals enhances care coordination, supports comprehensive management, and improves patient outcomes.
