Nothing to worry.Conc LVH is due to his hypertension.
Continue antihypertensive medication.
Repeat ECHO after 6 months.

Do not obsess over mild concentric LVH. It does not require any surgery. Just keep the BP under control with lifestyle changes and adequate medicines.

Concentric LVH is just because of his high BP. It doesn't need any surgery. He just needs a good BP control thats it. Consult with all his recent BP readings for deciding modification of BP medicines
