Question 1

what does this mean? inferior infarct age undetermined, possible anterolateral infarct, abnormal ecg, inferior infarct is now present. questionable change in initial forces of lateral leads, no specific t wave abnormality improved in lateral leads?

Accepted Answer

: Please discuss this EKG findings with your cardiologist who knows you the best. This 12 lead EKG is quite abnormal and significant coronary heart disease is definitely present. Good luck.

Question 2

42yo f passed out after marijuana consumption. t wave of 4 deg. sitting up and eyes open initially when passed out, then collapsed to floor. thought maybe lip dropped but it was quick. could the delta 9 gummies have caused the borderline t wave?

Accepted Answer

: Since recreational drugs may be mixed with a number of additives, such as Fentanyl, it is not clear what you consumed.  You may have suffered a cardiac event causing syncope, but this too is not well described.  It is by far safest if you avoid "marijuana", see a cardiologist and get this fully addressed.

Question 3

diagnosed with non specific lateral t wave changes is it of much concern?

Accepted Answer

: This EKG change is quite common, nothing to worry. Take care.

Question 4

had an ecg and was wonderinf if results are normal. pr interval=166 qrsd interval=89 qt interval=378 qtcb=374 pr=74 qrs=93 t-wave=119 i'm 32 years of age. my last ecg(a year ago) my pr, qrs, and t-wave were all significantly lower?

Accepted Answer

: Those parameters change with heart rate so if your heart rate was higher last year then all noted parameters should be shorter. By the way, those parameters with the current EKG are within normal limits. Take care.

Question 5

42m, been using a galaxy watch 5 ecg function, rarely works for me (does for everyone else tried on). when i do get a reading (always sinus rhythm) the qrs and t waves are always small, the t wave is often similar size to the qrs, is this ok? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: This is not the same as getting a formal EKG so you cannot draw any conclusions from the relative size of the waves. A regular EKG takes measurements from multiple perspectives, each of which will show the wave forms slightly differently.

Question 6

what does poor r wave progression on the precordial leads and inferior non specific t wave abnormalities mean? i went into er with chest pains and nausea, thats what came up on ecg?

Accepted Answer

: Poor R wave progression could be due to lead placement or a prior cardiac event-like a heart attack. Non-specific T-wave abnormalities means the t-waves don’t look perfect and it could also be due to lead placement when the EKG was obtained. These findings are very non-specific and do not mean you were having a heart attack at the time it was obtained. If these pains continue, see a cardiologist.

Question 7

friend, 42yo f, passed out 7/21 for unclear reasons and taken to er. dx of syncope. i thought her lip dropped and was worried about tia. they say unlikely but no tests. her ekg came back w/ nonspecific t wave abnormalities. any need to be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Syncope and TIA can have similar signs and symptoms so she should follow up with her doctor to see if any further work-up is needed. She can see a cardiologist as well as a neurologist to have more testing done to be certain that no further treatment is needed. An emergency evaluation is the first step in making a diagnosis but follow-up is definitely needed. Good luck!

Question 8

m 26, pretty bad cardiophobia. other tests normal aside form ecg, results say sinus bradycardia non-specific st t wave changes - 57 bps. doctor read it as normal since it's just 3 beats below 60 but google says anything below 60 is not normal. help?

Accepted Answer

: Review the EKG with a cardiologist...I would be happy to interpret the EKG if you would post it.  However, the ultimate conclusion of the significance of the slight bradycardia and nonspecific changes should be made by a physician who takes a careful medical history and examines you.

Question 9

74 years type 2 dm for past 20 years. last week chest pain while walking alone and got better when taking rest. ecg and echo normal .trop i score 9.2.tmt positive with downsloping st segment and t wave inversion reversed in recovery phase.diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

: It sounds like angina. The person may need a stress test to see what happens with exercise and, if ischemia is present, will need treatment. This person should be seeing a cardiologist. Best of luck to you!

Question 10

can a normal heart that be fine. have nonspecific st and t wave abnormalities show up on ekg? i be having random heart racing intervals/elevations, see pulse in neck, and chest pressure(since may). yet cardio dr, and his nurses say my heart is fine?

Accepted Answer

: Non-specific ST and T wave abnormalities can be related to the position of the EKG leads when they are placed on your chest and may not mean there is an issue. Seeing a pulse in your neck could be from your body habitus-there are many blood vessels in the neck and you are likely seeing a pulsation from one of these. Heart racing/pressure would need to be evaluated by cardiology-which you did.
