View allI need some advice on my mom's ECG report. It says she's got a sinus rhythm and something called enlarged PtfV1. What does that mean? Should we be concerned about it?
The ECG report showing sinus rhythm and a large P wave in lead V1 indicates a possible right atrial enlargement. This could be due to various reasons such as pulmonary hypertension, tricuspid valve disease, or chronic lung disease. It is important to correlate this finding with your mother's clinical symptoms and history. There is no need to worry, but it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and further management. In the meantime, your mother may benefit from medications like Furosemide to reduce fluid retention and workload on the heart, as well as medications like Digoxin to help regulate the heart rate.
