Had an ecg in the er on 5/2 and sent home. my findings just got uploaded to my patient portal. sinus tachycardia cannot rule out anterior infarct , age undetermined abnormal ecg no previous ecgs available what does this mean?

Sinus tachycardia means the heart rate on the ECG was greater then 100. The rest of it typically means there are non-specific changes which need to be placed in the context of your symptoms. Depending on the heart rate, the changes can also be rate-related. If you are having symptoms related to your heart, you should see a cardiologist so you can get evaluated. Good luck to you!

Proper follow up will be critical in order to explain relatively common and non specific changes seen on ecg. A detailed history and physical exam should provide context in which such findings can be incorporated. Follow up would be best coordinated through your primary care doc’ s office.
