Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Delay on the right side of heart is seen in right bundle branch block (RBBB).
And it is seen in cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia, valvular heart diseases etc.
So you should definitely consult cardiologist for her and get done
1. Clinical examination of heart
2. 2d echo
3. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
All these will be needed for the diagnosis of her cardiac disease.
Treatment based on diagnosis. So consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
