Dear Doctor,
These are the numbers from my echo nearly 3 years ago.
IVSTS 17.3 mm
IVSTD 12.1 mm
LVIDD 45.3 mm
LVPWD 9.2 mm
LIVDS 25.7 mm
LVPWS 15.o mm
ET 312ms
EF .75

These are 2 different measurements taken from the same short axis echo. I was diagnosed at the time with marginal concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, probably due to mild hypertension.
My B/P is very much controlled averaging around 110/70 now.
Would you agree with diagnosis of marginal concentric LVH and it has been 3 years since this echo. The other only thing stated on the echo was a redundancy of the mitral leaflets without frank mitral valve prolapse.
Do you think that these numbers 3 years ago reflect the need for another echo at this time or that I could wait another year or two.
These were the only 2 issues raised on my echo report, Would this qualify as a normal heart, despite the marginal LVH, which I would take to mean neither here nor there/ borderline and the redundancy of the mitral leaflet without frank MVP.
Thanks in advance,
Hank.
