Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that these changes in your cardiac ultrasound are related to high blood pressure.
Your EF is perfectly normal.
Coming to this point, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure, frequently during the day (sitting position after 10minutes of total relax) and note those values.
If your blood pressure is above the normal ranges (135/90 mm Hg) most of the time, you may need to start anti-hypertensive therapy.
Hope you will find tis answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
