Whether left ventricular hypertrophy is a useful compensatory process rather than the first step in heart failure is under debate. Early experimental data indicate that events during hypertrophy indeed hasten the progression of failure. Since it is often possible to reverse hypertrophy with some forms of antihypertensive treatment, it makes sense to try to do so.
左心室肥厚究竟是一种有益的代偿过程，还是心力衰竭的第一步，目前仍存在争议。早期实验数据表明，肥厚过程中的一些事件确实会加速心力衰竭的进展。由于通过某些形式的抗高血压治疗常常能够逆转肥厚，因此尝试这样做是有意义的。
