Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Mild fixed thinning of anterior wall may be a normal variant or this may be an old small heart attack. At times this is a part of degenerative changes especially in older individuals. The exact cause depends upon the clinical scenario. Since there is no reversible ischemia and EF is good, overall scenario appears good.
