to see  the echo  copy  and paste  the  link into your  address  bar  at the top of  your  browser

I have been  told  firstly  this was  LVH,  then that it isn't  but to my  eyes and  given the dimensions  (and seeing many examples of normal  echos  online)(   the  LV septum looks  somewhat thicker  than normal.  To my eyes  the mitral  valve looks to be hitting the septum  which is not supposed  to happen  (again described as normal  in the 'report'  )
There may be people here  who have seen their  own echos and have somr  knowledge and might have a view

I cannot see your echo, but there probably isn't anyone on here who is qualified to look at your echo and make a diagnosis from it. It takes a lot of training to do that. Why do you feel you may have LVH or HCM in the first place? What has your cardiologist told you about your echo?
