Left ventricular

[jabbajosh]

I recently discovered I have left ventricular hypertrophy. This is the thickening of a muscle in the heart. wondering if anyone has this or knows some with this condition that can fill me in on what substances are safe to take if any. I intend to k-hole tonight. I am not sure if the depressing of my heart rate woyuld be harmful or not? any help would be :D

well i dont know of anyone with this condition but i imagine if the muscle was thicker it could take more abuse

I think only a doctor could give you a proper answer.
But if I was you I would be extremely carefull. Think about it, is taking drugs worth your life?

I'm sure someone who has taken ketamine with this condition can give me a proper answer.

It depends. Many athletes have some degree of LVH, in which case it is completely benign. If it's associated with high blood pressure, it's probably worth considering that ketamine will further increase your blood pressure, so exercise caution. Frequent use could worsen the LVH. Still, it's unlikely to be acutely dangerous.

If, on the other hand, you had LVH related to a rare genetic condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, it could be fatal.

Thanks. Can't k-hole properly if I'm panicked. Good to set my mind at ease.
