A member asked:

I had my ekg reading done in class today and my professor thought it was a little weird. the axis reading of p-qrs-t was -1,8, and -6. is that weird?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Weird or not: P-wave axis normal is 0 to +75, QRS axis normal is -30 to +90, and T-wave axis normal is +15 to +75 degrees. QRS is normal. P-wave borderline and if you are younger lower atrial rhythm leading to an abnormal axis is not atypical if heart rate is slower. T-wave is “abnormal" but falls within borderline zone. Number one cause of abnormal axis is incorrect lead placement.
