After reviewing my mother-in-law's recent ECG, it shows something called Concentric LVH with Diastolic dysfunction Type 1. She's 54 years old, and I'm really concerned about whether this is something serious. Can this condition be treated with medication, or is heart surgery necessary? Looking for some guidance here.
