Okay! So, your heart report tells us a lot of good things about how your heart is working. Here’s a breakdown:

  1. The left side of your heart, where the blood goes out to your body, is doing just fine – it's normal in size and working well.
  2. Your right side is also normal, but it's a little bit bigger in certain parts. That’s called being "dilated."
  3. All the heart valves, which are like little doors, are doing their job, and there’s just a tiny bit of leakage, but it’s not too serious.
  4. They see no big problems like blockages.

Now, skipping heartbeats, also called palpitations, can happen for many reasons, like stress, caffeine, or something that might not be serious. Since your heart is pretty normal based on the report, it’s a good idea to talk to a doctor about your skipped beats to find out why they are happening. They can help you figure it out, but it sounds like your heart is mostly healthy!
