Cardiac hypertrophy 20mm is considered serious and may be due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or high blood pressure.
Cardiac hypertrophy 20mm is usually caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a hereditary disease in which the walls of the ventricles are asymmetrically thickened, reducing the volume of the ventricles and resulting in a decrease in the amount of blood that is ejected with each heartbeat, which can lead to symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy can be divided into obstructive and non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy according to the presence or absence of obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract, if hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is non-obstructive, then myocardial hypertrophy 20mm is more serious; if hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is obstructive, then the left ventricular outflow tract is seriously narrowed, and the ejection function of the heart is seriously impaired, then myocardial hypertrophy 20mm is very serious.
Myocardial hypertrophy 20mm may also be caused by hypertension, generally the resistance of the heart to ejection of blood is too large cardiomyocytes begin to hypertrophy, so that the heart’s compliance decreases, will also lead to the heart ejection of reduced blood, so high blood pressure caused by hypertension caused by myocardial hypertrophy 20mm is also more serious.
If the test result suggests myocardial hypertrophy 20mm, you need to go to the hospital in time, to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment.
