Have Probable Atrial Abnormality, Ventricular Hypertrophy. Have Internal Carotid Artery. Vertebral Arteries Are Patent. Treatment?

I have "probable left atrial abnormality", "probable left ventricular hypertrophy", can either of or both cause blackouts?
In addition, there be "right basal ganglia hypdensity", "mild tortuosity of brachiocepahlic & left common carotid origins. However the radiologist comments "incidental note is made of the posterior origin of the occipital artery from the internal carotid artery at the C2 level. Both vertebral arteries are patent and codominant, giving rise to a normal basilar artery."
CTscan impression states "Potentially a cyst the right ischemic infarct."
My primary physician yesterday did not really show any concern. Your insight is welcomed.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

None of these findings could directly be responsible…
The test results should be interpreted in relation to the clinical picture…
You ought to see your doctor!
You need examination / probably more investigation...

     You have to be seen by a neurologist.

     If there are no clues, you have to be investigated by a Cardiologist! HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring – for arrhythmia) / ECHOcardiogram (for clot) / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG – for ischemia) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
     
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
Good luck
