Question 1

i had an ekg that was taken in the er and it showed i was tachycardiac and had an abnormal t-wave with ischemia. what does this mean.

Accepted Answer

This is usually: Associated with coronary artery disease- see pcp or cardiologist.

Question 2

i had an ekg performed and wanted to know what slight high lateral repolarization disturbance, consider ischemia, lv overload, or aspecific change, (sinus rhythm) means. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: The interpretation of this finding depends on your medical history, the reason why EKG was done, etc. in order to decide if further work-up needs to be done. E.g. if the EKG was done when you have severe HTN or CHF that change can be due to left ventricular LV overload. For a routine EKG and you are asymptomatic with normal exam, the change can be read as aspecific (nonspecific) change.

Question 3

did a stress test today, results says ischemia is positive during ekg, 1mm st segment depression. 4 duke treadmill score. but no arrhythmias or chest pain and functional capacity is good. what does this mean? im already on statin and metoprolol?

Accepted Answer

: It is vital that you follow up with the Cardiologist or Doctor who ordered the test. Since they know your full history and the reason why this test was ordered, they can best put these results in context for you and determine what you need to do next.

Question 4

my stress test results read " positive exercise stress test for ischemia by ekg criteria. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

This means that the: EKG portion of your stress test had changes in the waveforms that have been known to be associated with blockages of the coronary arteries. Unfortunately, greater than 15% of the time this is inaccurate in women. Less than 5% of the time in men. This is why we always do stress testing in women along with nuclear imaging. If the nuclear imaging is negative then the EKG changes are FALSE positive.

Question 5

what does this mean?
the ekg portion of this study is positive for ischemia but hypertensive
response
the patient reported no chest pain during the stress test?

Accepted Answer

: Need to check with the cardiologist who administered the test but, despite the absence of pain, this sounds like a positive stress test - there is inadequate blood supply to some portion of the heart. Need to check back with Cardiologist soon.

Question 6

my ekg sinus rhythm, hr was 83, pr 140, qrs 82, qtc 418, axis normal, no acute ischemia noted it was reviewed again and say sinus rhythm, normal axis, t wave inversion in the septal leads, consider ischemia whats this mean 2019 ekg was normal?

Accepted Answer

: "T wave inversion suggestive of ischemia" should be evaluated by a cardiologist, who may order a stress test and ECHO to determine the cause.

Question 7

st deviation and moderate t-wave abnormality, consider anterolateral ischemia  abnormal ecg. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

EKG CHANGES: EKG changes in setting of symptoms and risk factors could be an indicator of heart issues. It is prueudent that this be evaluated ny the physician so further evaluation can be undertaken. Please do not delay.

Question 8

my result for ecg was stress ecg: 1 mm upsloping to horizontal st-segment depressions. does this mean i have ischemia? what would be the best test to rule out ischemia?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, the exercise EKG test is positive with those findings which mean you have coronary insufficiency so the next test will be coronary angiogram.

Question 9

what does it mean if the ecg showed signs of ischemia in the postural valve?

Accepted Answer

Lack of blood flow: First to clarify: there's no such thing as the "postural valve." ekgs can show signs of ischemia in certain regions of the heart muscle, which means there could be a lack of blood flow to those areas, often caused by clogged arteries.

Question 10

i got an ecg and i don't know how to understand the results...it says "technically unsatisfactory normal sinus rhythm t wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia". i'm a little freaked out please tell me what this means?

Accepted Answer

: 'Technically unsatisfactory' is the key wording in the report meaning the automated reading should not be relied on and the test should be repeated.  This is the equivalent of getting a picture that is out of focus.
