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

what would low voltage qrs and non specific t wave abnormalities in lateral leads mean on borderline ekg. doctor was not concerned?

Accepted Answer

Need old EKG: Low voltage means the tracing showed low amplitudes (i.e., the "spikes" were not very tall). The nonspecific T wave abnormality refers to an upward or downward deflection after the spike. Without an old EKG, it is hard to tell if the T wave abnl is new or not. This pattern is seen often in healthy younger people, which (given ur age) is probably the case; however, a new T wave abnl can indicate MI

Question 3

can someone tell me if my ekg is normal. it says normal but indicates things im worried. normal sinus rythm with sinus arythmia. it also says non specific change in st segment anterior leads. non specific abnormality now seen in anterior leads?

Accepted Answer

: An EKG is a report of the electrical signals for only 6 seconds of the heart.  .A supported medical opinion is based on a complete history, examination, and testing when needed. An  EKG gives us a short picture of the heart. Like a picture of a person, you can't tell how it moves, functions, or acts. at rest or stress; or changing observing for more time. See a doctor in person

Question 4

22/m/ high cholesterol. went to the er for racing heart beat and some shortness of breath. after ekg, blood work, and chest x ray i was told anxiety. ekg result says non specific t wave abnormality. borderline ecg. why wasnt i told about this? help?

Accepted Answer

: Glad that you did not suffer cardiac problems.  The  EKG is not consistent with arrhythmia or myocardial infarction.  Your cholesterol should be treated, and  anxiety can respond to cognitive-behavioral therapy.  Get this all  pulled together  and you should do well.

Question 5

what does nonspecific t wave abnormalities in lateral leads mean?

Accepted Answer

T abnormalities: As the description says, they are non specific and do not cause alarm by themselves and need to be correlated with clinical symptoms.

Question 6

what does nonspecific t abnormalities on lateral leads mean on an ecg?

Accepted Answer

T abnormalities: As the description says, they are non specific and do not cause alarm by themselves and need to be correlated with clinical symptoms.

Question 7

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 8

2 separate ekg's, 1st- "r wave progression anterior leads" 2nd- "nonspecific t abnormalities lateral leads". panic attack during both-did that affect?

Accepted Answer

Panic attack and EKG: EKG abnormalities can be induced by anxiety attacks. Especially if you hyperventilate during them. So if during your attacks you feel numb and tingling around your mouth and lips then get a paper bag and re-breath into it for a few minutes and the numbness/tingling and EKG changes may go away. These symptoms are related to hyperventilation changing blood chemistry. Do the bag to see if it helps.

Question 9

is non specific anterior t wave abnormality a risk for sudden death?

Accepted Answer

EKG: EKG is a test that may show minute variability that based on operator technique and interpretation.  A non specific T wave abnormality is usually no cause for worry.

Question 10

could u explain to me what exactly non specific t wave abnormality means i don't understand what t wave is?

Accepted Answer

Not diagnostic : You have to think of an EKG as a map. It's a pattern of vectors. It visually documents the direction, timing, and strength of electrical activity in your heart. The T-wave represents the restoration of electrical baseline charge aka "repolarization" of both ventricular muscles, like recharging a battery. Wave changes need to be interpreted in context by a qualified clinician, not the machine.
