The hypertension and leaking valves contribute to the borderline thickening of the heart muscle. The best way to reverse this "remodeling" is to make sure your doctor has arranged a guideline-based blood pressure medication which maintains a blood pressure within the low-normal range of 110-125 mm systolic and follow a low-salt diet. You deserve close following with an annual echocardiogram.
