Brief Answer:
damage due to lack of blood supply
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
I like to explain your EKC one at a time
1. Arterial Infarct: This suggest that the atrium, one of the four chambers in the heart has got damaged due to lack of blood supply. The result has shown as cannot rule out the possibily, suggest that there may be chance of infarction.
2. Possible Artrial enlargment: Again the possibility of atrium being enlarged is there.
3. Age undetermined: No significance.
So in summary both the EKG suggests the possibility of atrial infarction. Along with this the symptoms of chest pain, breathless, palpatations, fatigue suggests need for further evaluation using echocardiogram. This will tell the reason for symptoms and your pathology.
I hope this information answered your questions and is helpful to you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you faster recovery and good health.
