Losing weight has been shown to reverse left ventricular hypertrophy. Keeping a healthy weight, or losing weight if you're overweight or obese, can also help control your blood pressure. Eating a heart-healthy diet.

Is hypertrophy always reversible?

Conclusions. Physiological hypertrophy can be defined as a harmless, completely reversible increase in cardiac muscle mass that occurs in response to workload.

How long does it take to reverse left ventricular hypertrophy?

In 90.5% of the patients a complete reversal of LVH was achieved. Fractional shortening increased significantly, the maximum being 14.6% after 38.3 ± 3 months. The peak early/atrial velocity (E/A) ratio increased significantly (P < . 01) after just 7.5 ± 3.1 months with no further changes during follow-up.
