Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

I understand your concern.Left atrial enlargement can signify lot of diseases in your heart.Left atrial enlargement may result from a number of conditions like mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis,left ventricle failure.

You should go for a more high resolution tests like MRI to look for any valve abnormality.

Hope this helps.Feel free to ask more.
