Left ventricular hypertrophy

Chest

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a thickening of the muscle wall of the left heart chamber, usually caused by ongoing high blood pressure. It increases the risk of heart failure and irregular heart rhythms. An MRI may show changes in left ventricular wall thickness consistent with hypertrophy. Finding left ventricular hypertrophy provides a strong signal that blood pressure management may need to be optimised before cardiac complications develop.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
