How Can Left Atrium Dilation Be Treated?

I have just received notice that my left atrium is mildly dialated. What can I do to treat this....? I take a low dose for HB. I have been very sedentary for the last few years with knee and back problems. This year I have had two knee replacements and my back is better but I have put on 20 lbs.

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
I have read and understood your concern
Left atrial dilatation is always a consequence of hypertension.There may not be any specific treatment for this condition but for optimal blood pressure control.It may be associated with other heart conditions like arrhythmias.Reasons for which i will advise you see a Cardiologist for a cardiovascular evaluation, treatment and follow-up.I will also advise weight control and try to be more active given the consequences of a sedentary life style.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Wish you good health
