A member asked:
Can an ecg give abnormal reading when the ambulance took my ecg they said i might have possible right ventircle hypertrophy than when took another ecg in the hospital the doctor told me it looked fine and they did a chest x ray normal?

In my experience, it is not rare for an ambulance crew to misplace or reverse electrodes, and provide unreliable ECG results. ER docs are very familiar with this, as the EMT's focus upon stabilization of the patient first, and testing is a lower tier priority. The hospital studies have clarified your status.
