Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Nothing to worry.
Your reports are Normal.
Don't look at Sinus Bradycardia. Ignore the automatic reporting. These are incorrect. I don't find any reason to worry at all.
Just follow routine exercises and healthy life style.
If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Why do you say that reports are normal? My insurance company is showing these numbers and quoting higher premium. Reports indicate slightly higher LDL. What is the significance of abnormal Twave?

Brief Answer:
You just require slight life style modification.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
See, your LDL is slightly high,just start exercises and follow low fat diet. That would come down to Normal.
As far as t wave abnormality is concerned , since your ECHO is Normal , there is nothing to worry as such. You might be having some blockage or this can be even found normally in many people.
If you want to be very sure you have to undergo Angiography.
Insurance companies are always worried and try to find small defects in you so that you can't claim them for this problem easily in near future.
I don't find and feel a need for urgent intervention that too when you are asymptomatic.
If you have any further query feel free to ask me.
Stay Healthy.
