Can someone help you decipher your EKG report It says sinus tachycardia borderline AV conduction delay and probable left atrial abnormality.?

sinus tachycardia = rapid heartbeat borderline av conduction delay = a slight delay in the conduction of electrical impulse from the atria, at the top of the heart, to the ventricles, at the base of the heart. The ventricles are the chambers that do the pumping of blood to the lungs and to the body. The atria are the two "collecting" chambers for the blood returning to the heart from the lungs and from the body. The electrical impulse of a heartbeat starts in the right atrium, travels across to the left atrium and down to the top of the ventricles. This causes the atria to contract and push blood through heart valves into the chambers of the heart called Ventricles. The contraction then has a slight pause as the impulse "stimulates" the atrioventricular node to pass the impulse down to the base of the right and left ventricles. When the impulse passes the AV node, the ventricles contract and push the blood out to the lungs to be oxygenated and to the body. A slight delay in the conduction of the impulse is normal but it is only a fraction of a second. Any delay in the conduction which is longer than the "normal" fraction of a second is considered an abnormal av conduction delay. Probable Left Atrial abnormality = some kind of abnormal size, shape, structure, or electrical conduction in the chamber at the top of the left side of the heart. Remember that the atria are chambers for collecting blood returning to the heart. The left atrium is the chamber for collecting blood which is returning from the lungs. This is freshly oxygenated blood. The blood travels from the lungs to the left atrium. When the atria contract, the blood is pushed from the left atrium into the left ventricle. When the ventricles contract, the blood is then pumped from the left ventricle out into the aorta (the largest artery in your body) and then on to the furthest reaches of your body.
