Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
1 Impaired left function without dilatation=====Left axis deviation ( range -30 degree to +110 degree) the causes are obesity, ventricular hypertrophy ,ascites,anterior wall infarction.
In your case it seems ventricular hypertrophy.
2 Very mild concentric hypertrophy========ventricular hypertrophy.
Angiogram single vessel disease=========occlusion in one vessel, as due to this they fitted a STENT in this artery so that regular supply of blood could be maintained.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help gladly.
Good wishes.
Dr. HET
