Concentric left ventricle hypertrophy

Concentric left ventricle hypertrophy

I recently got a cardiac health checkup done. Im male, 37 yrs of age and was detected with hypertension 3-4 yrs back. I have been taking cardace H 5, since last 2 years.

The echocardiography shows concentric left ventricle hypertrophy. The values are:
LVPW thickness ED = 1.1 cm  ES = 1.2 cm
IV septal thickness ED = 1.5 cm  ES = 1.8 cm
LVEF = 55 %

My lipid profile report shows all values within range. I have been also monitoring my BP regularly - which has been under control ever since I started Cardace H 5.

Im concerned about this LV hypertrophy. Please advise.

PS:Could this possibly be also due to excessive exercise. I go for a jog of about 3kms daily and about 100 pushups and weights.
