LVH - Resolved

Hi,
My uncle was diagnosed with LVH and hypertension last year. After 1 year of bp control, he went to another Cardiologist and did the echo again. According to the new report, his LVH is resolved and all in within normal limits. My questions are:
1. Does the interpretation of echo images vary among the cardiologists?
2. Isn't it too soon for him to have his LVH resolved?
3. He wants go get off of the bp medicine he is taking. Is it wise?
