How Serious Is Mild Global Hypokinesis With Borderline Left Artrial Enlargement?
How serious is Mild global hypokinesis with borderline left artrial enlargement? I have been diagnosed with PVC's. They occur sporadically. I had an EKG and Echocardiagram and wore a holter for 24 hrs. I am active 40 year old male in good physical condition. I am 5'8" 198 lbs.

Mild global hypokinesis refers to your overall function of the heart (left ventricle). A "good" heart pumps at least 52% of the blood that it receives. The mild category is used for a range of 41-51%. The most worrisome etiology is ischemia or otherwise blockages in your heart arteries.
PVC's - which are premature ventricular complexes , if too excessive can cause depressed heart functions, but yours are only sporadic and not a concern.
Borderline left atrial enlargement is typically not a concern, at times it can be associated with abnormal rhythms from top chamber of the heart but your holter monitor did not reveal this.
