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.
