Answer:

If left ventricular hypertrophy is left untreated, it may lead to diastolic dysfunction and decreased coronary flow reserve.

Step-by-step explanation:

If left ventricular hypertrophy is left untreated, it may lead to diastolic dysfunction and decreased coronary flow reserve. It increases the risk for atrial fibrillation, abnormal heart rhythm, systolic heart failure, diastolic heart failure. If left ventricular hypertrophy is left untreated, it may also lead to sudden death in patients with hypertension.
