Can LVH be reversed?

[@darcy65]

having had LVH due to an adrenal tumour and shocking blood pressure for best part of 3-4 years with 3 heart meds of varying types concurrently, once tumour removed and changed diet to low carb with intermittent fasting and exercise, lost excess weight and was able to stop all heart meds. The two subsequent heart scans shown no sign of LVH - so it can be done, have hope and listen to this excellent Dr. Thanks for all you do Dr. Gupta

[@darcybrown7369]

@Andrew McDowell of course if I can be of help

[@darcybrown7369]

@Andrew McDowell it was moderate i believe. My endocrinologist decided the tumour was responsible for the sky high BP/ the cardiologist attributed the LVH to the BP. I was on three concurrent heart meds which only kept the BP to about 150-160/95-105 ish. Plus variety of anti sickness drugs over the period -none of which managed to stop the vomiting or nausea. Re heart drugs tried so many combinations - none of which worked great, some produced bad side effects (visiting hospital bad on occasion) and suffered many pronounced side effects to drug combinations including uncontrollable shakes, random blisters, vomiting, erratic heart rhythms, insomnia, breathlessness, etc.

Is there anyway you can talk about the importance of salt consumption, please?

[@checkdat8]

Salt is important part of our body. Salt: Na (40%)+ Cl (60%) General recommendation is no more than 6gm of Salt a day. Means 2400mg or 2.4gm of Sodium a day. Body needs only 1gm or 1000mg of Sodium to work effectively. (That includes anything that contains salt like sauce, noodles, pasta, bread, biscuits etc) Means Half a tsp is more than enough for your body to work. It is very essential for proper functioning of heart and brain. More salt you eat more your body retains water. Less you eat less water is retained. SOS free and vegan followers tend to lose weight very rapidly as salt can be found naturally in veggies. You don't need anymore help from outside as long as you eat plenty of veggies and fruits. Don't drink more than 2L of fluids. Excessive consumption of fluids can lead to Hypo or Hypernatreamia

[@Rene-uz3eb]

Upshot: all the new and old studies based on hypertrophy correlation with mortality use pre 1990 data or at lease pre 2000. So there is no proof that reducing hypertrophy reduces mortality. Ie hypertrophy is just a proxy for high bp and vascular problems. The heart can adapt over a with range of demands just like any muscle, there is nothing pathological about a more muscular heart (eg, in athletes). The LIFE study paper claiming mortality was lower in lower hypertrophy after reduction of heart size on ARB and beta blockers didn't prove that either, because there was no placebo control (ie the most hypertrophied would still be the most hypertrophied afterwards, among the participants). Otoh it is known that bp meds cause a huge range of problems, kidney disease, maladaptation, hypoxia, etc. Whether they safeguard the heart is complete speculation, and since hypertrophy doesn't make the heart weaker, the heart wasn't the problem to begin with. What we do know is that vascular damage leads to heart attacks and strokes, and that vascular problems are caused by drugs and malnutrition. You just can't get clear mortality data for bp meds. The vaunted SPRINT trial which showed a slight mortality advantage with heavier bp treatment, excluded diabetes and ckd patients (proteinuria or polycistic). It only included patients with vascular disease. And the aggressive treatment had more severe side effects. They also excluded prior strokes or vascular events. Or heart failure. Or psychiatric factors. 11% on the aggressive bp treatment experienced kidney failure or acute kidney injury, vs 8% on the standard bp treatment, for patients over 75. They also fudged the numbers. The over 75 over half experienced severe events (life threatening), while for the total population they only included the severe events they thought were related to the bp medication (seriously?). So if you only look at the over 75, granted that's pretty old, but half experiencing life threatening events during the trial. In any case, their attribution of drug caused life threatening and fatal events was double in the aggressive treatment around 5%. Whereas mortality was between 3% and 4% in both groups. If there ever was a wash. Conversely the ACROSS study which included diabetes patients showed higher mortality with aggressive BP medication. So I'd say other than imparting side effect diseases, it's a bunch of crap. Unless your vascular system is decrepit so you need to make sure you don't stress it in any way, and, that is your only problem.

Can you do a video on concentric remodeling? I was told I have mild concentric remodeling of my left ventricle, I have read that it can lead to hypertrophy and it's not concerning and also that it's the end consequence because of hypertrophy, yet I was told I have no hypertrophy. I have hypertension on and off, not all the time.

[@senkaletemitope1915]

I think you should get a blood pressure machine at home to always check ur BP. If it's constantly above doctor's recommended range, you need to get it down.

I was born with Turners and have hlab-27 factor. I have Aortic Stenosis due to a surgical fix of Aortic Coarctation (bcav) and Left VSD left unfixed. Mouth full. 😂 I had a hard time in my early adulthood trying to explain why it is different than just having high blood pressure alone. Without an structural cause. Why I was scared to have bio children or needed help moving boxes etc. Cause I “look ok, therefore I am complaining and lying about certain exercises being actually dangerous for me”. I continue to this day to be told “Well are you not fixed yet?”. “Why won’t they fix you”? “Do you just want to live like that ..” lad da ya da. Think society on a whole thinks that (1) Cardio Surgery fixes a person back to a state that is exactly like those without heart problems to begin with …. IE: Do this to equal 💯 fix. (Untrue for many many many folks … does not work like that) (2) That Hypertrophy is not dangerous and one just needs to never eat salt or exercise more frequently (untrue). IE: It is the fault of patient. (Not doctors, obvi. they understand, …but society) I have had folks hide salt on tall shelf from me thinking that somehow I caused my own congenital heart problems 🤦🏼‍♀️ My parents went to cardio appts. So they understood more than most in my life. But, I wish those Children’s Hosp. Heart books were created for adults 😊. I know it is 2-5th grade lol. But the basics in anatomy and circulation information review could be helpful for those who care about/live with those folks living with heart disease/illness. And instill more compassion and understanding. It would be helpful for family and friends support in general. Those illustrations they used to do in Pediatrics on the white boards or note pad, are not always unhelpful to the adult support system 😆. That is what I mean to say.

[@MrKenstafford]

thanks,but most cardiologists have an attitude." I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU KNOW NOTHING." AND DO NOT LISTEN THE THE PATIENT. I have seen many and all have the same attitude

What does it mean if the only time I have heart palpitations is after I've gone to sleep at night, and then it's a lot?

[@rajkale4427]

It's like clock....tik..tik...tik... don't worry about it....if u focus on it ..it feels more and more and make u anxious....if still not satisfied consult a cardiologist...

Get checked for sleep apnoea. Can cause palpitations.

I have been diagnosed with mild LVH and have 30 BMI. Can I do mild trekking as long as I keep my BPM below 160? Pl guide.

[@peggymicsky8607]

Your advice is so basic, mainly common sense but not easy with so many temptations in life. Things to do and things to refrain from doing. Much of our problems we bring on ourselves. If only we had listened to you! If only you were our doctor!

I have LVH i saw my result today, i dont know what it causes but i have an idea where i get this, 1st i like salty foods i think if i have a kidney problem probably thats 1 of the reason, second is i like sex too much me and my wife had sex almost everyday 3 times a day and i think thats one of the reason my heart is muscular. What im thinking now is 2023 i dont have this LVH its only 1 year and i go back to test ECG and this LVH appear. Im starting to think deeper when i search what is this LVH is it dangerous ? am i going to Die or what ? do i need to take operation which is i dont like to happen. This will add stress when u start thinking.

[@alexshah7860]

What about the effect of energy drinks on LVH?

[@rosihantu1]

Had problem with light-headedness and chest pain when doing light jogging but not when cycling which was kinda weird. When for a checkup and diagnosed with LVH but with normal EF. Does a standing type of cardio like running be more strenuous compared to a sitting type of cardio like cycling or rowing for people having LVH?
