No: Not on the free HealthTap platform. Best to get involve early, unless doing them just for fun would be your primary care doc who would be able to put such a test in a clinical context. Even better would be your cardiologist if already established and monitoring a specific cardiac condition.

Only for a rhythm abnormality. The ECG waveform should be interpreted by looking at multiple leads recorded over the extremities and the chest. Recommend that you discuss this with your doctors. Good luck.
