A member asked:

What does ecg result of sinus tachycardia and nonspecific st abnormality mean?

ECG result.: “Sinus tachycardia” means that your heart rate is too fast while your heart rhythm is normal (sinus). “Non-specific ST abnormality” means he ST segment of the ECG complex is not completely normal but is also not indicative of a specific disease state. Depending on what medical decision-making led to the ECG completion, more testing may be in order.

Not much: Not an uncommon ECG result & out of context doesn't mean much. Sinus tachycardia refers to the heart rate which is faster than a normal resting heart rate - there could be many reasons for this e.g. fever, pain, anxiety, drugs. The non-specific ST abnormality is not suggestive of any particular disease state. Is this the computer print out interpretation? Best to discuss with the DR who ordered it
