I've just had a 2D echo and it mentioned mild concentric LVH. I'm curious about what that really means. Should I be worried about it? Could you explain it in a way that's easy to understand?

I'm wondering how often I should be getting an ECG and an ECHO done. I had them both last year and everything was normal at that time. Now that I've been recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, which is under control, and Im also taking a 25mg beta blocker to keep my blood pressure in check, do you think I should be repeating these tests anytime soon?
For a patient with well-managed type 2 diabetes and controlled blood pressure on a Betablocker, it is generally recommended to repeat an ECG and ECHO every 1-2 years to monitor cardiac function and assess for any changes. Since your last reports were normal and your conditions are well managed, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about scheduling these tests every 1-2 years to ensure everything remains stable.
