Overview
Disease processes that can cause LVH include any disease that increases the afterload that the heart has to contract against, and some primary diseases of the muscle of the heart.
Common Causes
Causes of increased afterload that can cause LVH include:
Primary disease of the muscle of the heart that cause LVH are known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.
