Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a frequent echocardiographic finding and can represent either an adaptive physiological response or an indicator of underlying disease. Differentiating between these forms is crucial for identifying cardiomyopathies that require further evaluation. Echocardiography remains the first-line imaging tool for assessing LVH, offering key insights that can guide the need for advanced imaging.
