Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through ecg report you have mentioned.
No need to worry much for this ecg report.
Left atrial abnormality can be seen as an accidental finding without any symptoms.
So if you are asymptomatic then nothing to worry about this abnormality in ecg.
But if you're really want to confirmed this then 2d echo is needed.
So get done 2d echo to rule rule out all fear.
If echo is normal then no need to worry for employment add other issues.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
