Left Ventricular Hypertropy is usually caused by some underlying cardiovascular disease. One of these is high blood pressure but there are others. Ask the doctor if any other causes have been excluded and if whatever test you had showed healthy aortas.

If the answer is not satisfactory seek another opinion...you could do this regardless. Take along the results of ECG's or whatever you have had done. Sometimes the other doctor can obtain the reports anyhow.

It may be that your doctor is correct, but unless they explain properly and can show they have excluded other causes it is easy to be concerned.
