Enlargement of the muscle of the left (main) pumping chamber of the heart, which can result from hypertension because of the extra work required to pump blood effectively against elevated blood pressure.<\/p>\n

An increase in the mass of the left ventricle of the heart to greater than 100 g\/m2 in women or 131 g\/m2 in men. An excessively massive left ventricle is associated with an increased risk of death due to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and other causes.
