Anything wrong with this heart?

Patient of hypertension. 
Did an echocardiography. 
What did we find?
Have a look 👀:
Just a 4 chamber view. Showing thickened interventricular septum. More than 13 mm.
Anything more than 11 mm is hypertrophy of the left ventricle. 
EPSS or end point septal separation. Normal at 4 mm.
Very nice EF or ejection fraction at 66 %
Normal flow across mitral and tricuspid valves. 
Asked the patient to control his blood pressure. Hypertension being the cause of his left ventricular hypertrophy. 
Final diagnosis: mild LVH
