Hi,
The ECG has about 60% specificity of detecting those things correctly.
If you never have heart issues and have no complaints, most probably it is overdiagnosis, that means there is nothing serious.
If you are concerned too much, I would advise you to have an echocardiography done, if will show if there is any abnormality.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
