What Does Borderline Left Atrial Abnormality Indicate?

had an ecg done for my husband yesterday as he felt a pain in his left hand and also in the left shoulder 2 days back. The doctor said ecg is normal but it is written borderline left atrial abnormality. We asked the doctor about it and he said it is not a cause of concern and in his case it is because of variation in pressure. Is this a big problem. Should we consult a cardiologist and do an angiogram or so?
