Mild concentric Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) on your ECHO report indicates that the muscle wall of your heart's left ventricle has thickened, which can increase the risk of heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias; to take precautions, focus on lifestyle modifications, such as regular exercise, stress reduction, and a balanced diet, while also managing underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes; for a second opinion, consult another cardiologist, and provide them with your ECHO report and prescription to discuss the best course of action and potential further testing, such as a stress test or cardiac MRI.
