What Are My Chances For Left Atrial Abnormality?

I had an ekg done and it came out borderline abnormal. Possible left atrial abnormality. My dr said not to worry and marked that out & wrote normal. Then he scheduled an echo. What is he looking at and if it's normal why is he ordering another test?
