Question 1

what is meant slight st depression in ecg report?

Accepted Answer

Many things: including nothing.  Depends on the pattern of the depression (up-sloping or down-sloping) and the exact amount of the depression in millimeters.  The doctor who ordered the ECG is in the best position to interpret it.  It can be a normal variant, or it can be evidence of a lack of blood flow (ischemia) in that part of the heart. Also depends on your cardiac history. Call your doctor to explain.

Question 2

very slight st elevation in leads v4-v6 on ecg. all else normal... is this an mi?

Accepted Answer

Ecg: Very slight ST elevation is likely nothing to be concerned about in and of itself. The waves on an ecg need to be interpreted in light of clinical situations as there are multiple possible reasons for most variations from absolutely normal on these tracings. In a 19y/o minimal ST elevation is highly unlikely to represent an MI unless associated with specific symptoms.

Question 3

sir i am 30 male weight 83kg, i have t inversion in ecg and mild concentric lvh;kindly suggest any advise i have bp 140/82?

Accepted Answer

Weight loss, BP f/u: You are mildly hypertensive by BP readings but your ECG /echo reports already show signs of LVH at age 30.  This implies that the effects of high BP have been causing some strain on your heart.  The ECG also implies some repolarization changes that could show ischemia.  A stress test (stress echo or mpi given the abnl baseline ecg) might help.  This could also serve to start you on exercise progra.

Question 4

what does it mean if ecg showed short pr interval. & flat or low neg t in avl & v6. & high lateral and lateral repoloarization disturbance (mild) ?

Accepted Answer

Different things: A short pr interval means that the heart beat is either initiated in a part of the atrium which is distinct from the sinus node (where it usually starts) or is being conducted with accelerated velocity to the ventricles. The other changes are "non-specific" and can be due to anything, like sodium, potassium or magnesium levels, medicines, lead position, skeletal variation and many other things.

Question 5

58 years old and ecg says rbbb+labh and have had 2 episodes of slight pain sensations in the chest lasting for few minutes. do i need to go for angiog?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The ECG is non diagnostic for coronary disease.  The pain is noght quite typical for cardiac pain either but your doctor would discuss your options first and may want to consider a stress test of some sort to further risk stratify you.

Question 6

hello dr i have recently been diagnosed with mild leak in value. no med prescribed. my ecg was done 4 times thru the process and all were abnormal. is?

Accepted Answer

Valve Leak: Mild valve leaks does not necessarily cause trouble
Not sure how it was diagnosed but way to investigate it is with Echocardiogram (like ultrasound of the heart) and not with Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Check with your doctor is you need further assessment for your condition

Question 7

what does it mean when an ecg says borderline and extreme right superior axis deviation. slight high lateral repolarization disturbance consider ische?

Accepted Answer

EKG: Consider ischemia which is not enough blood getting to heart because of blocked arteries or an aortic stenosis or old heart attack. Would be good to know how old you are and what other problems you have to give better answer. Happy to do 2nd opinion now.

Question 8

can mild mitral stenosis be seen on an ecg? if so, which wave.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Mild stenosis may not have hemodynamic impact that would change ecg.

Question 9

is 120 ms of qrs normal interval for ecg test? can this be a sign of mvp mild mr (which i have) or other valvular diseases?

Accepted Answer

ECG: a 120ms QRS duration is an intraventricular conduction delay and maybe a left or right bundle branch block. Either can be found in patients with MVP but can also be seen in other conditions.

Question 10

have slight burning sensation in chest intermittently. i am active & eat well. 12lead ecg 6mo ago came bk clear. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Chest burning: May be gastritis/ GERD can try ranitidine /prevecid which are OTC and see if helps. caffeine, alcohol smoking , spicy foods sodad make it worse  May be gall bladder as well or can be gas/stool  in colon as colon rides high. f/u /w/ doc
