A member asked:

Is a pointed p wave of 2mm in amplitude still considered right atrial enlargement on an ecg and if not why?

Specializes in Pulmonary Critical Care

And: now a transthoracic echocardiogram will answer the question. It is very easy to evaluate the right atrium with ultrasound and you will have the answer right away. Electrical findings often do not correlate with real images. It is nice to have advanced technology.
