Help: How can left-sided hypertrophy coexist with hypertension?

Can someone explain how a patient can have left-sided hypertrophy of the heart along with hypertension? I thought: left ventricular hypertrophy --> reduced ventricular filling --> reduced stroke volume --> reduced cardiac output --> decreased blood pressure --> no hypertension. In some of the cases I read, they don't mention heart rate or peripheral resistance, yet they say the patient has left ventricular hypertrophy and hypertension. So, do I have to assume that the heart rate and peripheral resistance are high for that patient? Even if heart rate and peripheral resistance are high, if the ventricular hypertrophy is severe enough, the hypertension should go away, right?
