What Does This ECG Report Indicate?

I had an echocardiogram after my doc heard a murmur. My internal med doc said the results were fine however some septum hypertrophy. He advised my to get another echo within 12 months . I m 53, Caucasian male, athletic, no known history of family heart issues. Note: the tech who completed the echo said i would have to have annual echo s. I m concerned even though my family doc doesn t seem to be. Now background: since my divorce in 2010 I ve been drinking too much and I ve been using smokeless tobacco.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you may suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in which people may prone for sudden cardiac death. So that's why they advised annual echo. If it is severe septal hypertrophy may prone to develop ischemia, arrhythmia and Syncope. Few cases sudden cardiac death. Please consult your cardiologist with annual screening then he may advice appropriate treatment for you.

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