EKG dig effect: F 54: ST depression on EKG noted as possible digitalis effect - but I don't take digitalis. Is that a general term for certain characteristics? ANS: Yes it is used when the EKG looks like you are taking Dig. So you need to ask your team for explanation as they know you best. Can also be due to early LVH (enlarged heart) from high blood pressure for example. Note taking metoprolol. For high BP?
