In a routine ECG from a young asymptomatic woman, changes in P-wave morphology and the frontal plane atrial vector were noted. Two-dimensional echocardiography revealed a large atrial septal aneurysm as probable underlying cause. This case report demonstrates that non-specific right atrial ECG signs may be indicative of lone atrial septal aneurysm.

Key Words: Atrial septal aneurysm, P-wave morphology, Echocardiography, Electrocardiography
