Hello everyone here we have a question asking which of the following conditions is or are linked to left ventricular hypertrophy. A cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic condition that causes the heart wall to be slightly thicker than the average heart wall. So this is correct. B. Aortic valve stenosis. Aortic valve stenosis is when the aortic valve that supplies blood to the body and is present between the lower left chamber of the heart is narrow. This condition can occur as congenital heart disease or in people over 65 due to calcium deposits in the valve. So B. Is correct. See hypertension.
