You should not be scared. This is just an computer interpretation. We almost never go by it. If there is any concern you should have an echocardiogram to confirm that. Other than the QTC being a little longer that expected, usually less than 440 to 450 msec, there are no other abnormalities noted.
I had an echocardiogram and it showed that I have SEVERE ATRIAL DILATION. I am 38 and at age 10 had rheumatic fever. I now have heart palpitations and tachycardia and am on medication for the tachycardia (Toprol XL).
What exactly does the Atrial Dialtion mean and can it be the reason for the palpitations and tachycardia? Is this reversible? I am also overweight, will losing weight help?
I am really scared and dont know what to do. Is there anything I can do? Is it ok to exercise?
Help please!!
The left Artium was 5.0 cm. I also had a trace of MR
I would appreciate ANY help or advise!!!
Thank you so much. I did have an echo and the results will be back in about 7 days. The tech said not to lose any sleep over it because she did not see anything major.
Thank you agin for taking the time to answer my concerns!!
