More info: Not sure what you mean by "thickened" heart. This may be a normal variant, but in many people, several "abnormalities" seen on echo are indeterminate, and are treated by repeating the scan in 6 to 12 months. Talk with the physician who ordered the test to give you some guidance. Likely it does increase risk, but may be treatable.
