A doctor at the hospital told me i have an abnormal borderline ekg. what is that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be anything: It's like saying you have a borderline malfunction in your car - what does that mean? An ekg is a recording of your heart's electrical activity. It shows the heart's rhythm very well but beyond that, it can get fuzzy. Circulation insufficiency can cause abnormalities but so can disturbances of your potassium, magnesium, calcium, ph, temperature as well as many medicines and just aging.
