Hello, I need your expert advice on the following with my 20yo son:
First checkup reported Abnormal ECG with Sinus bradycardia HR 56 R wave lead II>2mV
Referred for 2D Echo results as follows: Normal chamber sizes Normal LV systolic function, no RWMA Normal RV size and systolic function Normal cardiac structure and function No evidence of LVH/RVH No intracardiac shunt Echslight bulging of atrial septum towards right atrium
He was refer for review at the National Heart Centre with regards to significant of bulging of atrial septum and his fitness for physical exertion and training.
Could you kindly help us and advise whether the above, especially the last point, is a serious or life threatening issue, and what can be done about it, and will such issue/bulge gets worst and life threatening with time or physical exertion.
The bulging septum needs further investigation - may be simple weakness of the wall...
ECHO is otherwise normal
It is not life threatening or has no short term effects.
The slow rate and high potentials in II also need further investigation.
National Heart Centre is the best place to go
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
