Atrial Fibrulation, Mitral Valve Murmur, ECG Showed Slightly Enlarged Ventricle. Is It Worrisome?
I have atrial fibrulation and a mytrial valve murmur. Today I had an echocardiogram done and my right ventricle was slightly enlarged by .4 cm. The cardiologist seemed unimpressed and didn t really give me much direction as what to do next. I am a 43 yr old caucasian women, no smoking ... any cause for concern or follow-up?

Hi
you have mitral valve murmur with problem of atrial fibrilation, so risk is of stroke in future
as in artial fribilation the both atria will not contract properly so there will be slow flow in atria and there will be chances of developing blood clots in left atrium and it may go into circulation and can cause stroke
so you required regular follow up and regular medication
take care
