[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 166396, member: 38167"] I know this is an old thread, but for anyone reading along: a sustained blood pressure >= stage one hypertension (US guidelines), as this poster had, for several years can — and in fact often does — lead to LVH. I read a study that said something like 45% of people with stage one hypertension develop LVH in the next 4-5 years. While a high hematocrit can, in some men, increase blood pressure, I don’t personally think it’s the increase in red blood cells itself that causes LVH- it’s the blood pressure. With BP properly controlled and without damage to the heart (eg from a heart attack), the heart can sometimes remodel itself. I’m happy to hear the poster here, after months of controlled hypertension, was able to get back into the normal ejection fraction range. [/QUOTE]
