Thickened heart muscle

Hi last year out of the blue i was diagnosed with complete heartblock and fitted with a pm. I recently have had slight palpitations and my last pm check showed up another arrhythmia. I had an echocardiogram and saw the consultant yesterday. He said it showed a condition where the heart muscle in thickened at the apex which is causing the irregularities. I now have to have aanother 24 hour monitor. The consultant didn't seem too concerned but didn't really explain much about this so I'm not sure what to expect. I dont know if its connected to the heartblock or a different condition. Does anyone have any advice. Thanks
