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.
