welcome to hcm ...mr rajesh ..your doctor ascessed you for coronary aryery disease and valve defects ..and
if tmt normal then it means that there us no stress induced ischemia ..in general terms it means that that there is no problem with blood supply with your heart and it will not develop any problem even if there is physical or mental exertion ..negative exercise induced ischemia is a good sign for you .
negative echo has ruled out any additional valve problem
please take medicines for bp on a regular basis and go for periodic checkup
