[QUOTE="xqfq, post: 165884, member: 38167"] Based on my reading, anything over 140/90 for sustained periods (years+) can cause LVH / issues. So if you were sometimes around 140/90 you would be at risk. I am very happy to hear you are well taken care of now! I have read that Chlortalidone may be good for LVH reduction: "Chlortalidone is used to treat [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_hypertrophy']left ventricular hypertrophy[/URL] in the heart; it works chiefly by lowering blood pressure, and thereby reducing systemic vascular resistance. There is evidence that chlortalidone is superior to hydrochlorothiazide for reducing the mass of the left ventricle of the heart in persons with [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_ventricular_hypertrophy']enlargement of the left ventricle of the heart[/URL].[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlortalidone#cite_note-21'][21][/URL] Chlortalidone is superior to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin_converting_enzyme']angiotensin converting enzyme[/URL] Inhibitors or [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiotensin_II_receptor_blocker']angiotensin II receptor blockers[/URL] for inducing regression of enlargement of the left ventricle, which is the main pumping chamber of the heart.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlortalidone#cite_note-22'][22][/URL]" - Wikipedia But I believe anything that normalizes blood pressure will help significantly. Maybe some drugs do even more than that somehow. [/QUOTE]
