Hi,welcome to HCM..
Thanks for writing to us.

The most common causes of left atrial abnomality(LAA) are-
1.Hypertension
2.valvular heart diseases like Mitral valve stenosis and regurgitation
3.Atrial fibrillation
4.Heart failure
Most likely in your case the cause of LAA is hypertension.So control of hypertension should the prime target.You may go for a ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY to rule out any valvular heart disease.you may also tke statins for control of cholesterol and prophylaxis against atrial fibrillation after consulting with your doctor.Otherwise at this point of time, nothing more is required,just take antihypertensives regularly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Stay fit,good luck.
