Left Ventricle Hypertrophy
by Alfie, Dec 05, 1999 12:00AM
I recently had an ECG and the findings were RAD and a persistent S wave. I was advised to undergo a 2d-Echo. The results of the 2d-Echo concluded:
Concentric left ventricualr hypertrophy with adequate wall motion.
Prior to the conclusion, the result mentioned "The interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior wall are hypertrophied."
What does the result mean? I am 36 years old, male, I don't smoke and drink and I exerise at least 3x a week (running for 30 minutes). Is something wrong? Or is it typical of an "athlete's heart"?
