2. Left ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_hypertrophy

   The thickness of the left ventricle as visualized on echocardiography correlates with its actual mass. Left ventricular mass can be further estimated based on geometric assumptions of ventricular shape using the measured wall thickness and internal diameter. [7] Average thickness of the left ventricle, with numbers given as 95% prediction ...

3. Cardiomegaly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiomegaly

   Coronary bypass surgery: to address coronary artery disease, which can lead to an enlarged heart. Left ventricular assist device: (LVAD): to help a weak heart pump, potentially while waiting for a heart transplant or as a long-term treatment for heart failure. Heart transplant: to provide a final option after other treatments fail. [15]

4. Athletic heart syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athletic_heart_syndrome

   The heart becomes enlarged, or hypertrophic, due to intense cardiovascular workouts, creating an increase in stroke volume, an enlarged left ventricle (and right ventricle), and a decrease in resting heart rate along with irregular rhythms. The wall of the left ventricle increases in size by about 15–20% of its normal capacity.

6. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

   The diagnosis of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is usually made by echocardiographic assessment and is defined as a peak left ventricular outflow tract gradient of ≥ 30 mmHg. [ 35 ] Another, non-obstructive variant of HCM is apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ( AHCM or ApHCM ), [ 37 ] also called Yamaguchi syndrome .

7. Ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_hypertrophy

   The underlying commonality in these disease states is an increase in pressures that the ventricles experience. For example, in tetralogy of Fallot, the right ventricle is exposed to the high pressures of the left heart due to a defect in the septum; as a result the right ventricle undergoes hypertrophy to compensate for these increased pressures.
