Question 2

what does a borderline ekg mean?

Accepted Answer

No such thing: Borderline ekg is like borderline diabetic or borderline pregnant.. No such thing! ekg shows the electrical impulses in the heart. There is a wide range of normal patterns; normal! there also other electrical deflections that are clearly not normal, i.E heart attack, hypertension, etc. I would recommend the ekg being viewed by an expert like an electrophysiologist, if your doctor is unsure.

Question 3

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 4

what does low voltage mean on an ekg?

Accepted Answer

EKG low voltage: Low voltage means that what are called the qrs complexes are smaller than usual.  There are many possible reasons, including a barrel chest, copd, cardiomyopathy, infiltrative diseases, severe hypothyroidism, pericardial effusion, obesity, to name a few.  Sometimes no significant underlying reason is found.  Discuss with your doctor for clarification of your particular situation.

Question 5

what does low voltage on an ekg mean?

Accepted Answer

EKG : Low voltage is a variant of normal. It can be seen however in a lot of pathological states. Your doctor can advise you if it should be evaluated or not.

Question 6

what does ekg saying t wave flat mean?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

what does a bundle (shown by ekg) mean?

Accepted Answer

Delayed conduction: The ventricles receive their electrical signal through the right bundle, and the left anterior and posterior fascicles.  If one if these electrical fibers in non-functional, the result is delayed activation of that part of the heart, and the complex on the EKG will be wider than normal.

Question 8

what does a borderline ekg report mean?

Accepted Answer

Borderline ECG: This is often the computer's interpretation of an ECG that doesn't fit strict criteria that are programmed into the computer. These "abnormalities" are often very subtle and require a human being to over-read the ecg. It is important to remember that an ECG is a lab test just like any other and needs to be interpreted in terms of the patient who is in front of the md.

Question 9

what does long q waves me on a ekg mean?

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 10

what does a flat top line on an ekg mean?

Accepted Answer

ECG: We say 'flat line' to indicate no electrical activity of the heart.
