EKG Showed Borderline Right Atrial Abnormality. Not Overweight, Taking Benezipril And Lorazepam. Normal Blood Pressure. How To Avoid Heart Problem?
my EKG was noted as having borderline right atrial abnormality . I am 65, not overweight , and never had a problem with this test in the past. I have no medical problems, other than taking medication Benezipril and Lorazapam. Blood pressure is within normal limits consistently with meds. Please tell me what I can do to avoid a problem with my heart, and is there a way to change the diagnosis on EKG back to normal reading?

Hi
life style modification is the best way to prevent heart diseases
first is
stop tobacco use in any form if you are using
limit alcohol intake
DIET
take good amount of green leafy vegetables , fresh fruits , almond , walnut , sea fish like salmon , tuna
avoid excessive salty aNd fried , oily food
avoid red meat , organ meat , ice cream , sweets
Exercise
daily brisk walking for atleast 30 min
for your EKG report of borderling right atrial abnormality i think no need for worry , you can do one echo test and confirm the size of right atrium
take care
