Overall left ventricular systolic fuction is preserved with an EF between 65-70%.
Left ventricular wall thickness is normal. there is stage 1 diastolic dysfction.

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

According to your echocardiography results you have ejection fraction (EF) of 65-70 %, which is good. left ventricular size is normal with normal wall thickness. This all findings are normal.
There is mild dis-functioning in diastole, which could be because of hypertension.
So according to me this problem is mild & wouldn't require any surgery. Only your medicines would be adjusted.

Refer to your cardiologist
Hope this information helps
