When evaluating her for hypertensive target organ damage, you look for evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy.

  • The term "left ventricular hypertrophy," or "LVH," refers to a thickened and possibly ineffective left pumping chamber of the heart. The heart muscle can get overworked by issues like aortic stenosis or excessive blood pressure.
  • In order for the heart to fill its pumping chamber and pump blood to the rest of the body, the thicker heart wall loses its elasticity, resulting in greater pressure. The heart may eventually stop pumping as vigorously as it should.
  • People with uncontrolled high blood pressure are more likely to develop left ventricular hypertrophy.
  • In primary hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy occurs before other target organ damage.
