The EKG is most likely seeing an enlarged left atrium, however, an EKG is NOT a reliable tool for diagnosing this kind of defect. If you have an abnormal EKG you should ask your doctor about doing an echo to check the structure of your heart and possibly a stress test as well.

What did your doctor say about the EKG?
