Brief Answer:
I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that an ECG is not the best tool to examine the heart structure as it is not really specific for this purpose.

For this reason, I would recommend performing a cardiac ultrasound in order to examine your heart function and structure better and evaluate the heart chambers dimensions. This is a quite accurate test.

I would be glad to review your ECG images for a second opinion whenever you will be able to upload them.

Hope to have been helpful!

I remain at your disposal in case of further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist

Brief Answer:
This is the same attachment, just the ECG report.

Detailed Answer:
This new attachment is quite the same as the first, just the ECG report, but not the ECG images.

I would like to review the EEG images (some lines which indicate the leads of the ECG registration).

I remain at your disposal in case of further questions whenever you need!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Iliri
