The main things to take away from this report is that the right atrium is enlarged, the septal walls are thickened as are the walls of the left ventricle. All this is most likely due to continued high blood pressure. Even at 160/100, that's still stage 1 hypertensive. They high blood pressure is most likely the underlying cause, correct that and the wall thickening should slow and stabilize. Also important is that the EF% is 67%, that's a great number and shows the heart is working efficiently.

Hope this helps,

Jon
