Idiopathic left ventricular<br />

hypertrophy<br />

Is a symmetric, concentric hypertrophy where<br />

the left ventricular mass exceeds that of<br />

physiological hypertrophy. Unlike HCM, is not<br />

associated with genetic transmission <strong>and</strong> there<br />

is no cellular disarray microscopically.<br />

It is uncertain whether some cases of ILVH<br />

represent mild morphological expressions of<br />

HCM, unusual instances of exercise-induced<br />

cardiac hypertrophy (athlete’s heart syndrome)<br />

with nonbenign consequences, or possibly<br />

examples of undetected right ventricular<br />

dysplasia with mild left ventricular hypertrophy.
