Falling BP

2018-03-24 16:31:41
My dad is 52 yrs old, had undergone 2d echo test bcoz of his falling BP. Reports say 1. Sclerotic aortic valve - no AS/AR 2. LV diastolic dysfunction 3. Normal LV systolic function EF 60% 4. No regional wall motions abnormalities at rest Aortic root is 2 cm What does all this mean ? Is there anything to be worried about ?

1)His echo is more or less normal 2) As we grow old, hypertension tends to become predominantly systolic and diastolic goes down
