I'm a 67-year-old who's been taking Revelol XL 50, but my blood pressure numbers always seem to hang around 15090. I've decided to switch to Concor 5 in hopes of getting them down to 12080. Is this a good move, and could you explain what I might expect during this transition?

I'm really worried after seeing my father's recent echo report. It mentioned mild concentric LV hypertrophy and Grade 1 LV diastolic dysfunction. His LVEF is at 75, which I think is good? But then there are terms like MV, AE, AV normal, and TDI EE 10.18, and I'm not sure what all that means. Can you help me understand the report and what it means for his heart health?

That says he is having mild left ventricular hypertrophy about wich you no need to worry and rest all the parametres are normal,have a healthy lifestyle,follow your doctors advice
