What Does EKG Showing Atrial Enlargement Mean?
Hi. I had a preoperative EKG today and it read left atrial enlargement. I am 56 yr old African American female and I have no history of cardiac issues. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur in my early 20 s and have not had any problems with it. I am very active, 5 3, 125 pounds. What is going on?

Hi,
It may indicate some asymptomatic aortic or mitral valve issues. You should have an echocardiography performed.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anders Mark Christensen, General Surgeon
