• #10 Management of the patient with left ventricular hypertrophy – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7690320/

  The management of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) presupposes that the patient is identified by echocardiography and is carefully evaluated for risk stratification, taking into consideration possible associated complications. […] The role of non-pharmacological treatment is limited, except in obese patients. Drug treatment, especially using calcium antagonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers, has proved to be effective in reducing LVH. […] These drugs are also effective in controlling, if not reversing, the associated pathophysiological changes and complications, such as impaired systolic and diastolic function, and ventricular arrhythmias. […] The desirable goal is LVH regression, but it may not be achievable in over 50% of patients, and it is not possible to identify patients in whom regression is likely.

  We have read with interest the Korean Society of Hypertension guidelines for the management of hypertension and congratulate the Society for an extensive review of literature while drafting the guidelines. The guidelines indicate preferring ACE-I and CCB over diuretics in patients with left ventricle hypertrophy. However, in landmark head-to-head comparison trials, the thiazide-like diuretic chlorthalidone has been shown to be superior to ACE-I and CCB in decreasing left ventricle mass and preventing heart failure in hypertensive patients. […] The Treatment of Mild Hypertension Study (TOMHS) assessed the effect of five antihypertensive monotherapies (CTD, acebutolol, doxazosin, amlodipine and enalapril) on reduction of LVM in 902 patients with mild (stage 1) hypertension. After 4 years of treatment, all 5 therapies showed reduction in LVM from baseline; but only CTD declined LVM significantly more than placebo.

  ALLHAT (Antihypertensive and Lipid-Lowering Treatment to Prevent Heart Attack Trial), the largest randomized hypertension outcomes trial, provides another head-to-head comparison between CTD, ACE-I lisinopril and the CCB amlodipine. After a mean follow-up of almost 5 years, although there was no difference between treatments on the primary outcome (combined fatal CHD or nonfatal myocardial infarction), the most intriguing finding of ALLHAT has been the significantly lower rates of HF events in the CTD group compared to both CCB and ACE-I. […] The direct cardiac effect of LVH includes an increased risk of developing congestive heart failure and the associated morbidity and mortality. Thus, one of the major objectives in achieving regression of LVH and reduction of LV mass is to reduce the incidence of HFpEF and HFrEF and the allied hospitalisations and death. However, reduction in LVH may not always translate into direct reduction in incidence of diastolic dysfunction and HF.

  https://www.healthline.com/health/left-ventricular-hypertrophy

  Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the hearts main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of another heart condition and treating that condition may stop progression or reverse LVH. […] The most effective treatment of LVH is treating the condition that is causing the problem. For example, if high blood pressure has caused a thickening of the left ventricle, taking blood pressure-lowering drugs (antihypertensives) and making certain lifestyle changes may be sufficient. […] For aortic valve stenosis or other valve problems, the procedure to repair or replace the affected valve may help reduce the risk of further complications. […] Regardless of the cause of LVH and the treatment recommended by your doctor, everyone with the condition should manage the following heart-healthy behaviors: eating a balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean eating plan or the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, exercising with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, limiting alcohol consumption, managing stress. […] LVH can sometimes be reversed when the underlying condition is treated effectively. For others, changes to the left ventricle may be permanent. But a healthy, active life may be possible with lifelong care by a cardiologist and adherence to a heart-healthy lifestyle.

  Blood pressure (BP) control is an ultimate therapeutic goal of hypertensive patients in reducing early complications of hypertension. […] A further marker of early hypertension complications is LVH. […] The success of treating hypertension has been limited, and despite well-established approaches for diagnosis and treatment, in many communities, fewer than a half of all hypertensive patients have controlled blood pressure. […] Therefore, tailored interventions targeting BP control to reduce the magnitude of LVH and other early complications of hypertension deemed to be compulsory. […] Poor adherence to anti-hypertension medications and salt reduction, and being on triple anti-hypertensive drug therapy were found to be predictors of uncontrolled hypertension. […] The findings of the current study showed that participants with poor adherence to salt reduction in their meal were more than 8 times more likely to have uncontrolled blood pressure than those who reduced salt.

  https://www.healthline.com/health/left-ventricular-hypertrophy

  Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is when the hearts main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, becomes thicker and less able to pump blood efficiently. It usually develops because of another heart condition and treating that condition may stop progression or reverse LVH. […] The most effective treatment of LVH is treating the condition that is causing the problem. For example, if high blood pressure has caused a thickening of the left ventricle, taking blood pressure-lowering drugs (antihypertensives) and making certain lifestyle changes may be sufficient. […] For aortic valve stenosis or other valve problems, the procedure to repair or replace the affected valve may help reduce the risk of further complications. […] Regardless of the cause of LVH and the treatment recommended by your doctor, everyone with the condition should manage the following heart-healthy behaviors: eating a balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean eating plan or the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, exercising with at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, limiting alcohol consumption, managing stress. […] LVH can sometimes be reversed when the underlying condition is treated effectively. For others, changes to the left ventricle may be permanent. But a healthy, active life may be possible with lifelong care by a cardiologist and adherence to a heart-healthy lifestyle.

  The number of antihypertensive drugs used in the treatment of hypertension plays a big role in hypertension control. […] The results of this study showed that the participants who were on three-drug combinations were seven times more likely to have uncontrolled hypertension than those on monotherapy while two drug combinations were a referent. […] The prevalence of LVH based on ECG findings is variable. […] Uncontrolled hypertension was found to have significant association with LVH. Participants with uncontrolled hypertension were more likely to develop LVH as compared to those with controlled hypertension. […] The result of this study has shown that abdominal obesity was significantly associated with LVH. Participants with abdominal obesity increase their odds to have LVH compared to participants who had no abdominal obesity.
