Question 1

ekg 12 lead. sinus tachycardia. inferior - posterior infarct. age undetermined. abnormal ecg. when compared with previous ecg of 24 july 2015.  vent. rate has increased by 36 bpm. inferior-posterior infarct is now present.  what can you tell here?

Accepted Answer

Ecg: A stress test and/or heart catheterization give much better information than an ECG. A cardiologist needs to review your ECG as well. 37 yrs old is young to have heart disease as well. I need to see your ecg to say much more, and I am happy to do a consult with you.

Question 2

is a 10 lead ekg machine as good as a 12 lead machine?

Accepted Answer

Depends: In some cases, a 3 or 5-lead ekg provides sufficient information. However, for a full picture of what the heart is doing, a 12-lead is the best.  It takes 10 physical leads to produce a 12- lead ecg. Left and right arms, left and right legs, v1-v6.

Question 3

if i had hyperkalemia wouldn't it show peaked t waves throughout entire 12 lead ekg with widened qrs?

Accepted Answer

Depends: That is with life threatening hyperkalemia.  If your case is mild, or chronic, it may not manifest yet with ekg abnormalities.

Question 4

slightly peaked t waves in v2 and v3 on 12 lead ekg but all else normal. is this ok or hyperkalemia/ mi?

Accepted Answer

Your 18: Your 18, so your probably fine unless there is reason to think there is something wrong. Do you have chest pain? Kidney problems? Why did you get an ekg?

Question 5

what does an ekg 12-lead impression: non-specific st t wave abnormality mean?i i just need to know what this test result means.

Accepted Answer

A : A "nonspecific" abnormality means that the wave doesn't look like the typical, standard ekg.  The st-t wave is the wave that occurs right after the qrs.  Often times the wave doesn't look typical, but it is important to note if prior ekg's have appeared the same for the patient.  Also, some medications can cause these changes.

Question 6

my cardiologist wrote the following regarding my ekg: 12 lead sr 92 bpm nsra poor baseline. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

"Poor baseline": has nothing to do with YOU...It simply means that the technique used to set up and record resulted in a less than quality recording.

Hope this is helpful!

Question 7

need a sample ekg. normal and increased heart rate one (like after exercising) to see which intervals do or don't increase. i have already looked online for samples but they are mostly of 12 lead ekgs. i only need a basic 3 lead sample for each. thanks.

Accepted Answer

The : The university of utah has a nice site that includes many examples of both rhythm strips and 12-lead ecgs.

Question 8

meaning of the diagnosis from an ekg, 12 lead, initial: sinus bradycardia, low voltage qrs, possible septal and inferior infarcts, age undetermined.

Accepted Answer

3 things: Sinus bradycardia means the heart rate is less than 60
Low voltage QRS could be associated with many things, including obesity, emphysema, lung disease, pericardial effusion, infiltrative cardiomyopathy, etc
Possible septal and inferior infarcts age undetermined: there is some evidence of possible heart attacks on the septal and inferior walls of the heart, and cannot determine the age of events

Question 9

i have my 12 lead ekg result showing sinus rhythm with sinus arrhythmia and non specific t wave change. my qrs is 112ms and qt 586ms with 85 beat/sec.?

Accepted Answer

Possibly abnormal: The qt prolongation coupled with the nonspecific t wave changes is abnormal and concerning. This may be an indicator of a condition called long qt syndrome, which may be life-threatening. See a cardiologist for further evaluation.

Question 10

my husband has afib, he went in with tachycardia and his heart was beating 190 bpm, they did a 12 lead ekg and found out his heart wasn't working right and he said the top of his heart isn't beating in sinc with his lower heart. ?

Accepted Answer

Atrial fibrillation: Common problem that is causes by dysfunction in the atrium of the heart. Your heart normally beats by creating an electical charge from your sinus node which is at the conjunction of the vena cava and the atrium. A signal is sent to atrial-ventricular, AV, node which then sends electrical charge to get the heart to beat. Atrial fib starts when this "electrical wire" is disrupted.
