[|Human|] I am 60 year old male, who as a result of some SOB with increased exercise had a echo cardiogram. Results not seen but told over phone are thickened septum wall, but no thickending in ventricular wall. Referral to a cardiologist. What can I expect in way of dx and treatment?Thanks
[|AI|]  Dear Sir, Thickening of septum can be caused by blood pressure fluctuations, if there is a tendency of high blood pressure. But you shouldn't worry. If there is thickening only in septum, and the other walls have normal thickness, it means that disease is not advanced and can be treated and prevented further thickening of other walls. In case of mild thickening, it is not dangerous, only if there is significant thickening, it can be caused by significant disease. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
