ECG same 9 months post TAVI as 6 months before?

On Tuesday I had to be taken to Casualty. I was there for only three hours, during which I had an ECG, blood tests and a detailed discussion with a doctor. Her many findings have just appeared on my GP Patient Record, and I've spent half-an-hour deciphering all the medical abbreviations. I was a little surprised that the ECG showed "no new changes" compared with the one I had in January last year - "tall tented e waves, left axis deviation, sinus rhythm". Yet I had a new heart valve inserted in August.

My record did not include the two ECGs arranged by my heart surgeon after the op. (Different hospitals, though within the same authority - sigh.) The surgeon assured me that all was well enough.

I'm not at all worried, (and I don't seek comment on the report), but I would have thought that there would have been some changes?
