Question 1

i had a notched s wave on ekg last year. my dr seemed unconcerned. my stress test was negative. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: not knowing what you mean exactly by "notched", and what lead/leads were involved.  My feeling is to trust what your doctor is telling you as you haven't reproduced the ECG in your question.

Question 2

what do "slightly flat" s/t waves mean on a routine ekg?

Accepted Answer

EKG - ST - Changes: 60 years old female with slightly flat ST -T waves on EKG : The EKG is not a very sensitive tool to diagnose heart disease especially in females. 
EKG should be compared to prior EKG's if you had one done in the past and also your cardiologist or physician should look into your symptoms and risk factors together with EKG changes to make further recommendations

Question 3

t wave abnormality showed on three different ekgs. should i be concerned? im a 35 yr old female?

Accepted Answer

: Very limited information is provided for a meaningful advice. At the least, we need to know your past medical history and the reason why a 12 lead EKG was done.

Question 4

what is t wave in ekg representing?

Accepted Answer

Repolarization.: Repolarization(or recovery) of the ventricles.

Question 5

what do flat t waves mean on an ekg?

Accepted Answer

Low Potassium: Flat t waves can indicate that you are low in potassium (k) or that you are experiencing some ischemia (lack of oxygen) to your heart. Was this a routine ekg? Or was it a stress test? Depending on the answer, your doctor may want some more tests to evaluate blood flow to the heart.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

ecg: Flat t waves are a nonspecific finding, in and of themselves they are of minimal significance.

Accepted Answer

ECG: On an ecg there are Q waves and QT intervals. Q waves can mean scar in the heart, long QT interval can mean abnormal electrolyte concentrations or be caused by some drugs.

Question 9

what does the p to r wave stand for on an ekg?

Accepted Answer

PR segment?: The PR segment is the period between the end of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS.  This segment is the delay of electrical activity at the level of the AV node, electrical tissue that separates the upper from the lower chambers of your heart.   A long PR segment is a form of heart block called 1st degree and is usually not dangerous and often reversible. Ask again if you mean P or R waves.

Absent p waves: On an ekg if you have absent P waves most often it means you have atrial fibrillation, or atrial flutter.
