Can someone explain my EKG Results?

Could someone please explain these numbers to me? I have seen several times in my medical history about a left atrial enlargement, but it has never been brought up or explained to me. Is it serious? What causes it? Are these numbers normal or within reason?

Ventricular Rate:   106 BPM
Atrial Rate:   106 BPM
P-R Interval:   158 ms
QRS Duration:   76 ms
Q-T Interval:   332 ms
QTC Calculation(Bezet):   441 ms
P Axis:   46 degrees
R Axis:   45 degrees
T Axis:   59 degrees
:   SINUS TACHYCARDIA  
:   POSSIBLE LEFT ATRIAL ENLARGEMENT  
:   BORDERLINE ECG

sorry I misread. Left atrium enlargement is usually the mitral valve not functioning correctly. An echo scan would find the cause.

The report says "possible" right atrium enlargement. I would think an echo should be organised to make sure. Are you on any form of medication for anything? Your heart rate seemed to be pretty fast during the EKG, was you very nervous or something?

I also wanted to ask if a dipped chest can cause a left atrial enlargement.
