I've been diagnosed with mild LVH of the ISV 14mm, all other measurements are within the normal limits, EF 55%, overall my other heart measurements though within the normal limits are on the smaller side, I've been told I have a very powerful heart. I'm 5'9" approximately 195 lbs. about 30 lbs overweight accordong to BMI even though my cardio tells me I'm really only about 15lbs overweight because of my built. I used to suffer PVCs and hypertension, but rarely have PVCs anymore, I'm on atenolol 100mg, cozaar 25mg BID, and HCTC 12.5mg. B/P well controlled 105/60 to 90/55 are usually my reading these days.
I read on another post recently that a 13mm wall measurement of the heart would not be considered LVH in a very large person, I thought that even 13-15mm in well conditioned athletes sometimes raised concern, most doctors have told me LVH is not a good thing even when mild.My latest ECG 1 month ago did not suggest LVH like the old ones, I know its not the gold standard in diagnosing LVH, but Do you think it is possible it could have regressed through aggressive treatment? When speaking of PVCs in the setting of a structurally normal being benign and not leading to SCD, would mild LVH like mine with everything thing else within the normal limits fall into the same category as being benign and not making one more prone to dangerous arrhythmias and SCD?
I've learned to deal with the anxieties my PVCs have caused me and still learning coping methods to deal with them even better , they dont scare me anymore like before, but with mild LVH, I still wonder and these ?s Tks
