[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 165171, member: 38167"] Did they do an echocardiogram? What did the cardiologist have to say? Did the cardiologist tell you your ejection fraction? Was it normal? Edit: I just saw your post here: [URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/trt-and-high-bp-hematocrit.20048/#post-164701"]Trt and high BP/Hematocrit[/URL]. High blood pressure can cause LVH. In your case, fixing your blood pressure should be your top priority. You are in Stage 1 hypertension according to the latest guidelines. Your cardiologist should have recommended medication to reduce your blood pressure. Did they? If I was you, I would take the medication and then figure out the root cause, hoping to reduce or eliminate the medication as I improved / found the underlying cause. You do not want to wait around with stage 1 hypertension. This stuff is pretty complicated, but once hypertension is fixed the heart can sometimes remodel itself and you can "reverse" LVH. It depends though, and I'm not comfortable giving out much more of my thoughts than that -- your cardiologist should have talked to you about all of this. There are also other causes for LVH that aren't high blood pressure. It's complicated though. In your case, you have hypertension so you should fix that no matter what. [/QUOTE]
