I just came back from an EKG--it said SINUS RYTHM, POSSIBLE LEFT ATRIAL ENLARGEMENT, AND BORDERLINE ECG. Im 50 years old, male, treated for hypertension, bi-polar disorder and anxiety, BUT I also exercise and eat right and all of my conditions are either asymptomatic or under control at present. Im interested in how serious left atrial enlargement is?
Hello, I understand your worries towards your EKG result, but you shouldn't worry much. It is common amongst most of the patient that visit my clinic for consultation. Although valvular diseases and atrial fibrillation can cause enlarged left atrium, yours is caused by hypertension. You need to see a physician to carry out ECHO and other necessary tests to have a better view of your hearts condition and decide the best way to manage your situation.  Not to serious, no need for worries. Warm regards
