View allI've just gotten results from my 2D echo showing mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, though everything else seems normal and my ECG was fine. I'm currently taking Arbitel 40. Should I be worried about this, and is there a chance that this condition can be improved or managed effectively?
This medication helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. In addition to medication, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats, regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can also help in managing left ventricular hypertrophy. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan is important. It is important to note that while left ventricular hypertrophy can sometimes be reversed or managed effectively with treatment and lifestyle changes, it is essential to continue working closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
