I had to get a check as well since the doc said it might b genetic.. my echo and ecg came out normal ...Thou one report said I might have mild lvh ..the doc said this might be due to excercise..( I had a BP of around 140 by 85)  echo readings were IVSD 1.2 LVPWD 1.2 and LVIDD 4.7 But wen I got checked it in two other places the echo of ecg Wer normal.. I got a cardiac MRI done which said I dint have an HCM suggestive scars and it was normal..I am really bothered Abu this if I don't have hcm y mild lvh then.. and y can't der be a test to confirm that I don't have hcm at all...
