Hello,

What about left ventricular myocardium size? What you may be having left ventricular outlet obstruction with dilated left atrium with atrial fibrillation.

You may need to be measured aortic valve gradient, valve area and ejection fraction etc. Depends upon what you may monitor for medical or surgical treatment.

Please consult your physician/Cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
