Treating other underlying conditions
Left ventricular hypertrophy is often found in people who are obese regardless of blood pressure. Losing weight has been shown to reverse left ventricular hypertrophy. Keeping a healthy weight, or losing weight if you're overweight or obese, can also help control your blood pressure.
Left ventricular hypertrophy, if severe, can eventually impair the function of the heart due to difficulty in filling and may decrease the force of contraction of the heart. The best measure to prevent left ventricular hypertrophy is to prevent and adequately control high blood pressure with a low sodium-diet, exercise and taking the appropriate antihypertensive medication.
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Hypertrophic disorder of the skin, unspecified L91. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM L91. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.

I51. 7 - Cardiomegaly. ICD-10-CM.
When the aortic or mitral valves are leaking, the left ventricle adapts to the increased volume load by getting larger. This results in cardiomegaly. If the aortic valve is narrow, this results in an obstruction to the left ventricle which develops hypertrophy and cardiomegaly.

Coding for Cardiomyopathy in ICD-10-CM I42. 9, Cardiomyopathy, unspecified (includes cardiomyopathy [primary] [secondary] NOS).
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. The various types of the disease have many causes, signs and symptoms as well as treatments. In most cases, cardiomyopathy causes the heart muscle to become enlarged, thick or rigid.
ICD-10 | Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (I42. 1)
Left atrial enlargement refers to dilation of the left atrium which occurs from multiple disease states that can chronically increase the left atrial pressure. These include congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathies, congenital heart defects and valvular heart disease.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a disease in which the heart muscle becomes thickened (hypertrophied). The thickened heart muscle can make it harder for the heart to pump blood.
