Question 1

Been to the er 3 times with 5 ekgs first 4 were normal along with all normal tropin levels in blood but last ekg said sinus tachycardia septal infarct when compared with other ekg in my chart. is this a serious issue i should return to the er for?

Accepted Answer

I assume you went to the ER because of chest pain or similar symptoms. If 4 ECGs and troponins were normal, the likely cause of the ECG "abnormality" could be incorrect lead placement. This is a common problem. It is appropriate for you to speak to your physician who treated you, or your primary physician with all the ECGs and lab reports for their explanation and reassurance. Good luck.

Question 2

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

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 3

Chest pain and possible myocardial infarction. ecg reveals sinus tachycardia. what does this mean at 50?

Accepted Answer

Chest pain, and possible myocardial infarction @age 50----you should either go to nearest er or be in the hospital. It is immaterial whether you have tachycardia or not. I could be of help if the question is clear.

Question 4

What does anteroseptal t wave changes mean? i have a history of atrial septal defect and sinus tachycardia.

Accepted Answer

There may be EKG changes in ASD depending on its type, severity, right ventricular size, pulmonary hypertension etc. T wave changes in leads V1-V3 are anteroseptal changes (meaning changes occurring in front part of the wall dividing right and left chambers of heart). I would discuss with congenital heart specialist, may be you need repeat echo to reassess RV size and estimated pulmonary pressure.

Question 5

28 y\o, i have mobitz+sinus tachycardia- blood tests, eps, stress test and eco were ok- any idea what's the cause and how dangerous it is at my age? tha

Accepted Answer

If it is second degree av block mobitz type i, this usually reflects benign increased vagal tone causing slowed conduction through av node.  It might occur after periods of sinus tachycardia or at night while asleep (increased vagal tone then also).  Second degree av block mobitz type ii is more ominous and usuall implies pathological reduced av nodal conduction.

Question 6

How to control  sinus tachycardia? my pulse rate always around 120. my age 40, weight 86. i also feel breathing problem. ecg, eco i done before but no doctor tell me i have asthma. but i have asthmatic symptom like short breathing, palpitation.

Accepted Answer

First thing that catches my eye is your weight, it is quite low (86 lbs correct?). There is likely an association. Would need more details. One thing would be if you struggle at all with diet and fluid intake, dehydration alone can cause sinus tachycardia

Question 7

Is a sinus tachycardia same thing as supraventricular tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

Sinus tachycardia is the normal fast heart rate that results from a stressful situation, physically or emotionally (running, being upset, having fever, etc...).  Svt is an arrhythmia that usually requires abnormalities of the electrical conduction system of the heart, and if frequent and troubling needs directed treatment. Sinus tachycardia does not require treatment of its own usually.

Question 8

I wore a 24 hr holter monitor and the conclusion was; 12% sinus tachycardia. is that of any concern?

Accepted Answer

just means your heart speeds up normally from time to time.  You may be a bit excitable is all.  If no symptoms, don't worry

Question 9

Doctor gave me bisopropolol for sinus tachycardia (get it nightly up to 180bpm caught on 14 day loop). is this a good medication?

Accepted Answer

Very good med, but there are cheaper ones. Ask about atenolol. It's $4 for a month's supply.

Question 10

Greetings doctor .... i have repeated episodes of extra systoles followed by sinus tachycardia several times a day ... at the same time i am suffering?

Accepted Answer

Repeated episodes of extrasystolies getting several times a day needs Cardiac Evaluation.A detailed History including history of smoking and any other medical condition,caffeine intake and complete examination and Ekg.24 hour Holter Monitor.Ech cardiogram.And if indicated Stress Test/Coronary Angiogram.We don't know your age.Consult a Cardiologist
