I've been told I have mild left ventricular hypertrophy after a 2D echo test. Is this something that can be reversed if I manage to keep my blood pressure around 12080?

  1. Blood Pressure Control

    • Keeping your blood pressure around 120/80 mmHg is crucial. It reduces heart strain and can help improve mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
  2. Reversibility

    • With effective blood pressure management, lifestyle changes, and possibly medications, mild LVH can improve or partially reverse.
  3. Lifestyle Modifications

    • Adopt a heart-healthy diet, engage in regular exercise, avoid smoking, and manage stress to support heart health.
  4. Regular Monitoring

    • Schedule regular check-ups and echocardiograms to track your heart’s response to treatment.

Consult your cardiologist for personalized advice and management plans.
