Ekg abnormalities after mitral valve replacement.. is it common..? echo is looking good, but ekg is abnormal... any idea?

No//Multiple: The enlargement and hypertrophic muscle show as abnormal in mitral valve disorders. Arrythmia also can show and is abnormal. If no ongoing changes, this is likely your new baseline. Keep copies! for comparison.

MVR: Depends on the kind of ekg abnormality. Minor st elevations can be due to postoperative pericarditis. Major st changes require close attention from a surgeon or physician. Rhythm abnormalities like atrial fibrillation are common. Surgeons or cardiologist can determine the exact significance after looking at serial ekg. All depends on type of changes.
