Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Left ventricular hypertrophy is most commonly caused by hypertension. The increased pressure in the arteries puts extra stress on the heart, causing it to work harder and leading to the thickening of the left ventricle.  Atrial fibrillation and heart attacks can also contribute to left ventricular hypertrophy, but they are not the most common causes. Chronic lung disease is not typically associated with left ventricular hypertrophy.
