Hi, I have some questions regarding LVH:
1. How long does it take the mild to moderate LVH to regress by controlling BP?
2. What medicines do help regress LVH?
3. After controlling the BP with medication for sometime, is it possible to bring down the BP normal by other methods: lifestyle changes, weight loss, excercise, meditation, stress management, etc. How many percentage pf people could control BP without medication?
4. What doe you think of Atenolol as a bp medicine?
Thanks.
Melinda
