Echocardiogram done and don't know what it means.

I had an Echocardiogram done and got the results from the Hospital but I don't have a Doctor to explain it to me. If anyone can help me that would be great. I obviously am not interested in things that are normal but the ones that are at the border or above I have put a star beside.
                                     (normals)
Ao root diam:    3.0cm    (2.0-3.7cm)
ACS:                     1.8cm    (1.5-2.6cm)
*LA dimension: 4.0cm   (1.9-4.0cm)
RVDd:                  2.6cm   (0.9-2.8cm)
FS:                        35.5%   (25-45%)
*EF(Tiech):         64.7%   (55-65%)
*IVSd:                  1.2cm   (0.7-1.2cm)
LVPWd:               1.0cm   (0.7-1.2cm)
LVIDd:                  4.6cm   (3.7-5.5cm)
LVIDs:                  3.0cm   (2.2-3.8cm)

I don't know what the normals are for the area below.

This is essentially a normal echocardiogram.  The starred numbers you have are also all normal.  The ejection fraction is excellent being in the 60's.  The LA dimension is the size of the left atrium which is just at the border of normal.  There are many reasons to have an enlarged LA, but even a mildly enlarged LA is not concerning.  The IVSd is the septal thickness which is still within normal limits.  Even if it is a little bit thick, this is still not concerning.  The septum and left ventricular wall may become thick with time if a patient has hypertension.
