A member asked:

Can big belly or stomach cause left axis deviation on an ecg?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Ferguson answered

The belly size does not influence the axis of the EKG forces. These are specific to the heart muscle, not the body structures surrounding the heart.

Dr Kuitems agreed
