Hello
Although the echo report of the patient is normal however the ecg attaches is suggestive of atrial fibrillation. Patient needs a repeat ecg and HOLTER monitoring as a part of further evaluation.
Atrial Fibrillation is a underlying risk factor for stroke in elderly patients if left untreated or inappropriately treated. If stroke happens patient will need hospitalisation.
