Ok...: RSR pattern is a benign finding......unless associated with lung, Rt ventricular pathology. If smoker, DVT, congenital or acquired rt sided heart problem.....don't worry. Being a female.....lead placement has to be considered...

If you have no: cardiac symtoms (dyspnea, chest pain, palpitations, exertional limitation) then do nothing. Perhaps another EKG in a few years for interest. I suspect your conduction system is aging or more likely your lead position or body position was different now than the last time. This could be an early sign of right heart disease so an echo could be useful, nothing would be done until you have symptoms.
