Question

So, I just got my Echo report and it says EF is 65 and there's something about Mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this means and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it a serious heart problem?

In that Echo report, an ejection fraction (EF) of 65% indicates normal heart function. Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) means that the walls of the heart's main pumping chamber are slightly thickened. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. You can take Losartan 50mg once daily to help with blood pressure control and to reduce the workload on the heart. Regular exercise and a low-sodium diet can also be beneficial.
