Had an ECG and got emailed the results; findings 'abnormal'; can somebody here help interpret?

post the strip bro no one wants to read the printout

don't know what a strip is

Post the image of the waves. But also just call the doctor who did it. Seems normal for an athlete based on my similar results my sports doc said it was all good. You have your own med history and maybe more context tho so talk to your doctor

I doubt there would be anybody on here who can tell much from the waves. I'm really just looking to understand the terminology.

ur gonna die bro like that pattern is associated with early sudden cardiac events, its called Lenticular Isometric Gigantism Measurable with Airtraq

Exactly the same people who could quite easily explain terminology to you would all prefer to just see the tracings ("waves") and thereby give you a far more accurate interpretation.

Anyone that pretends to interpret the terminology for you but is unable to interpret the tracings, that person is surely lying to you.

Results indicative of testicular cancer caused by high testicular high voltage.

If any of this was worrisome I think your doctor would have already made arrangements for you. Mostly, this suggests you are athletic- the left ventricular high voltage suggests a thickened ventricular wall- hypertrophy- due to some "overuse." I am not sure what the high t-wave is, since a high t-wave is not a normal diagnosis, as seen here:

"The RSR Prime (rSR’) pattern represents a delay in activation within the basal part of the right ventricle (RV), which can be observed through distinct variations in QRS complex morphology."

This is likely a normal variant, and it depends which leads the pattern is seen in. If V1 or V2, it can be concerning, but in any other lead is considered insignificant.

"Sinus arrhythmia is a variation of normal sinus rhythm that characteristically presents with an irregular rate in which the change in the R-R interval is greater than 0.12 seconds."

Translation- right now, this seems to suggest you are ok. Talk to your doctor on this, have him or her translate this for you, to make sure, since there is a lot that goes into reading EKGs, and a lot of subtlety that cannot be addressed here (for example, in which leads certain things are seen)- and is there a reason you had an EKG done?

Understand I am just translating the medicalese here, not providing any diagnostic thoughts.

Why did you get an EKG?

Was this part of your annual well-check exam?

Was this done for another reason…if so then was it for chest pains, palpitations, etc.?

Oftentimes the EKG machine spits out these interpretations. Is what you are posting the machine’s interpretation or your doctor’s interpretation of the EKG?

Regardless, the safest thing for you to do is message your doctor with these concerns.

No point asking a regular general practioner. Also no to another poster you don't need years of training to explain what 'bradycardia' means. It means your resting heart rate is under 60. Surprise surprise.

How many doses of the jab have you had?

Both the image of the ECG and context (patient profile/reason for the test) are necessary to provide an interpretation and application.
That said, none of these findings is likely anything to be worried about.

Not enough Aaron.

All sound pretty normal for an endurance athlete.

Difficult to give any more insight without seeing the strip, but Left Ventricular High-Voltage (hypertrophy) is very common in well trained runners - the heart is a muscle and the more you run the more the muscle will adapt.

Sinus arrhythmia means your heart beats follow your respiratory pattern - also very common with athletes. Nothing to worry about there.

RSR is also relatively common in younger people and athletes.

Sounds like a pretty standard case of athlete's heart - in short, nothing to worry about. Abnormal yes, but not cause for concern. Obviously listen to your doctor, but it seems pretty typical to me

A few years ago I had to get an ECG as I was preparing for surgery. Got a call an hour later with the NP with the surgery team telling me "doing do anything strenuous or stressful until we can talk to the cardiologist." A few hours later she calls me to tell me "we need you to go to the ER. Don't panic, but go straight there, because it looks like you're having a heart attack, and we can't be sure what's going on until someone looks at you." I should note I felt fine and was in good shape overall. Went to the ER, more ECGs, same results. ER doctor (who I know as a runner) said "the results say you're having a heart attack, you sitting in front of me says you're not. I can release you, but don't overdo anything until you see a cardiologist"

I had to wait a month to do a stress test, and to see a cardiologist. Got through the stress test easy enough (increase of speed and incline every 2 minutes, and I went about 16 minutes). Cardiologist looks at me an goes "why are you here, you're fine." The ECG doesn't account for people who are fit, as they don't normally need the test. The results can come back as abnormal because of that.

Of course you should talk to the doctor to confirm any concerns, but if you're cardiovascularly fit, I wouldn't panic.

thank you very much. it was a freebie along with a lung x-ray.

Please talk with your referring doctor, not the half-wits on LRC. There is absolutely no one here qualified to interpret these readings, and, even if there were, you would not be able to distinguish the legit one from the 99% BS you read on this site.

I'm qualified- but I referred him to his own doctor. And was firm that I was not offering any diagnosis.
