Accepted Answer

Based on your test results, your total cholesterol level is 221 which is slightly elevated. For mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) and Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction), it is important to manage your conditions to prevent any further complications. For your cholesterol level, you can consider taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. For mild LVH and LVDD, it is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may recommend medications such as Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help with your heart condition. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to support your overall health and well-being.
