Dilated right atrium

Morning. I’ve recently had an echo which is routine due to a mildly dilated aorta. This was fine, 7 day monitor pick up a few ectopics but nothing sinister. Looking at the report there’s also a mildly dilated right atrium. This wasn’t mentioned and it has grown since my last echo. My mother had HCM & I’ve hyper mobile Ehlers danlos, so quite conscious these things may hinder me. I was a keen runner, I’ve not competitively ran in 4 years but want to get back to it. Every time I start training, I have a few ectopics after, but it’s fine according to the cardiologist. Has anyone had a mildly dilated atrium and would this impact me getting back to running? PS I have asked my health provider just waiting for them to get back to me.
