Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the 2d echo report you have mentioned.
Your ejection fraction is 57%. This is considered as very good for someone aging 62 years.
So no need to worry for this 2d echo report and no need for surgery.
You should take metoprolol and Ecosprin as cardioprotective drugs due to age related changes (interventricular septal motion wall abnormality).
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
