Dilated left atrium

Got my 2DEcho result this afternoon. Of course my nurse was with me when I got the result from the CMC Heart Station. I have a dilated left atrium with no evidence of thrombus.

As expected, my nurse researched about it and here's what she got:

The atrium being dilated carries several risks including:
1. Blood stagnation inside the atrium, blood clot formation inside the atrium and the risk of this blood clot breaking and causing a Stroke if it travels to the brain.
2. Heart rhythm becoming irregular.

She immediately emailed his sugar daddy doctor (yari ako mamaya nito) about the results. I've experienced both risks in the past. So, for now. We wait. Hehehehe...
