What Is The Treatment For Mild Arterial Insufficiency?

I had an EKG today that showed LVH, with an echo next week. I had an echo in 2002 that showed mild atrial insufficiency. I currently take Vyvanse 40mg/day. I do not have HTN and am a runner. I run 1-2 half marathons/yr. Do I have a structural heart defect that would require stopping the vyvanse?

DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM

I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN..
LVH IS CAUSED IN MANY HEART CONDITIONS THAT INCLUDE HYPERTENSION, STRUCTURAL HEART ISEASE LIKE HOCM, VALVULAR HEART DISEASE ETC

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE REASON YOU ARE CONSUMING VYVANSE OR YOU ARE USING IT WITHOUT CONCERNING THE DOCTOR

VYVANSE HAS BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE HYPERTENSION IN PATIENTS ON IT.. THERE ARE ALSO CASES OF SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH WITH USE OF VYVANSE

I SUGGEST YOU TO CONSULT A CARDIOLOGIST AND ALSO TELL HIM OF YOUR VYVANSE USE.. IF YOUR ABUSING VYVANSE USE YOU NEED TO STOP THE SAME..

HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
