Hi, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. Ventricle hyper trophy mean your heart is enlarged .iv can be many reasons like in case of Hypertension, aortic stenosis, pulmonary Hypertension n so on. There are 2 ventricles left n right . It can be both ventricle hypertrophic n can be only one side.when hypertrophy occur usually do not cause any symptom of it is not interfering with CO. Due to right ventricle enlarge my patient some time having feeling of throwing in chest... if u were my patient I would like to run some test like echo chest X-ray, so I can find the cause n that causing hypertrophy n treat it accordingly hope this answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Regards.
