Treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy

There are atria on both sides of the human chest cavity. When people find left atrial hypertrophy during examination, they need corresponding treatment according to the symptoms. Medication is needed at the beginning, and hypoglycemia needs to be controlled. Too high blood sugar can cause left atrial hypertrophy to worsen, which will affect the normal blood flow. Appropriate antihypertensive drugs should be given, and a diet with less salt, oil and sugar is very important.

Compared to the right ventricle, the left ventricle is longer and more conical in shape.

Its cross section also presents an elliptical or nearly circular outline. The sternocostal surface, which is the front of the heart, is mainly composed of the right ventricle, and a small part is also composed of the left ventricle. However, the left ventricle not only makes up the apex of the heart, but also makes up most of the septal surface of the heart, which is the side of the organ that meets the diaphragm. In order to pump blood at a high blood pressure, the muscle of the left ventricle is thicker and more developed than that of the right ventricle.

Treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy is divided into primary and secondary. Primary refers to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Drug treatment includes beta receptor blockers and calcium channel blockers. Chemical ablation can achieve better results. Secondary heart disease is mainly caused by hypertension, valvular disease, etc., and the treatment of the primary disease is the main focus.

Left ventricular hypertrophy is generally caused by compensatory hypertrophy of the heart due to hypertension. Failure to actively treat blood pressure may eventually lead to heart failure. Hypertension should be actively controlled in treatment. In life, you should eat a low-salt, low-fat diet and take antihypertensive drugs. If blood lipids are not well controlled by diet, you will need to take medication.

You should pay attention to not being impatient and being steady when working. The selection of antihypertensive drugs should be based on the principle of individualization, and should be selected according to factors such as the patient's age, blood biochemical changes, target organ damage, blood pressure values ​​and their complications. ① Among patients with hypertension without target organ damage, young patients are mostly hyperdynamic, with increased cardiac output, large pulse pressure, large blood pressure fluctuations, and tachycardia, which are accompanied by sympathetic nervous system excitement. Beta-blockers should be the first choice. 1. Elderly patients should choose ACEI or calcium antagonists or angiotensin II receptor antagonists due to increased external vascular resistance; 2. Patients with hyperlipidemia, diabetes and gout should not use beta-blockers and thiazide diuretics; 3. Patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and angina pectoris can choose beta-blockers and calcium antagonists; 4. Patients with hypertension, heart disease and heart failure should choose ACEI or angiotensin II receptor antagonists or diuretics; 5. Patients with arrhythmias including premature ventricular contractions and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias should choose beta-blockers or verapamil; 3. Patients with renal insufficiency should choose loop diuretics or calcium antagonists. When the blood creatinine is <3mg/dl, ACEI or angiotensin II receptor antagonists can be used; 1. Patients with cerebral infarction should choose calcium antagonists or ACEI or angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
