hi

Can anyone who had LVH tell what your symptoms are amd how you discovered it and more importantly how are you dealing with it to improve things

I had AF not persistent and my midly dilated LVH came up on a echo test

Just looking for anyone who has been able to improve the LVH or at least stop it growing worse

I used to drink daily but haven’t for 28 months i don’t smoke never have I I eat well and healthy 6 days a week and from what I see others eat I don’t seem to eat as much as people that carry less weight than myself amd I know my eating is healthier so just thinking I would like ways to improve my LVH

I don't have this but have read in clinical studies that a large frame or excessive body mass will lead to an increase in heart size. The problem seems to be that the heart muscle can then become a little stretched, and this can lead to issues such as fibrillation.
