Is A Slightly Enlarged Right Ventricle Noticed In An Electrocardiogram A Serious Concern?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that an ECG is not the best tool to examine your heart structure and conclude about the ventricles size.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound, which can help investigate for this possible disorder and measure the exact parameters of your heart.
I would be glad to review your cardiac ultrasound report for a more professional opinion, whenever you will be able to upload it.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
