What Does That Mean Enlargement In ECG Report?
Question: Borderline ecg at er and they said it was normal and let me go…. But I read the report and it said this
normal P axis, V-rate 50-99
Probable left atrial enlargement
P >50mS, <-0.10mV V1
What does that mean enlargement? Wouldn’t they tell me if something was bad
- BORDERLINE ECG -
Sinus rhythm
normal P axis, V-rate 50-99
Probable left atrial enlargement
P >50mS, <-0.10mV V1
When compared with ECG of 27-Aug-2021 16:40:16,
No significant change
Confirmed by: XXXXXXX L. Businaro
EKG shows a normal sinus rhythm with no signs of acute myocardial schema or arrhythmia.
This was the full op note from the doctor

Brief Answer:
I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I read carefully your ECG report and would explain that these changes are not specific for any serious cardiac disorder. From the other hand, the ECG is not the best tool to examine the heart function and structure.
You should also know that ECG finding should also be correlated with the patient symptoms. For this reason, I would like to know more on your past medical history and your actual complaints.
I would also recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound, in order to examine better the heart function and structure, in order to determine if these ECG changes are really related to the changes in heart structure.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
I remain at your disposal in case of further questions whenever you need!
