What is a left atrial abnormality? |
[Edit] |
Answer
it's not good. It's a chamber in the bigger half of your heart. the atria is not normal in some way
Answer
You have two atrias in your heart - right and left. An abnormality in one will usually mean your heart beat is not steady. You may "miss" a beat every now and then or experience a sudden onset of a very rapid rhythm.
It really depends on your age and the reason why you have this abnormality as to how it is treated. Younger people are usually fine - older people may need some medication to help regulate the heart. You usually get an atrial abnormality from heart disease or after a heart attack.
