Hi, i have bradycardia and mildly dilated left atrium. Are these two related?

[and_vho]

Most of the reading I can find suggest high pulse rate is usually associated with an enlarged atrium yet mine is usually around 50BPM. Can this be fixed?

The best person to answer this is your Doctor, who will have all your medical history.

If I were you I would ask for another appointment so you can ask.

Take a list of questions so you don't forget any good luck

Hello,

As above, please go to your GP. You may need a 12, lead electro cardio gram to look at the wave out put to determine what is going on in your heart. Please do not leave this, write down your questions to ask.

After your appointment you can post the findings. Good luck.
