Help Me Understand My Ekg Please Posted: 07-13-04 21:08pm
At the top it says
sinus tachycardia, rate 108
..........................Normal p
axis,.=100
incomplete right bundle branch
block..................Qrs 110ms teminal
forces right
consider left atrial enlargement
............................ Pv1 -10mv or
more negative
an all my x rays say everything is normal
this ekg they did was like 20 secs thats
it thanks

I'm glad you have this question, i'm very
interested in ekg's. I'll tell you what
I can...
Sinus tachycardia means that you have an
fast heart beat. Normal beats are
60-100.. It says yours was 108.. It's
not as bad as it may seem, it's only
abnormal. Critical heart beats are
anything less than about 35 and anything
(adult) over 180. - estimate.
When they looked at your ekg strip, they
noted that the qrs intervals are abnormal.
That means somewhere in the bundle of
hiss - I don't know if I spelled that
right- there is a block (blood clot). I
know that a heart attack is a blood clot
anywhere in the veins and arteries of the
heart.. But in the bundle of his you'd
have to ask your doctor... I'm not sure
what the numbers mean on your question..
I just wish I could see the strip for
sure...
The left atrial is a chamber of your
heart.. The strongest part of the heart,
the part that pumps all the blood throught
your body. It says it was enlarged..
Again, i'm not sure what that means "
enlarged" you'd have to ask your doctor.

Well the X Ray Posted: 08-28-04 11:24am
The x ray said I did not have a enlarged
heart I was also very excited at the time
I took the ekg
i had a differt one
and here is how it goes
vent. Rate 72
pr interval 158 ms
qrs durtion 120ms
qt/qtc. 368/402 ms
p-r-t axes 48-68-51
with normal sinus rhythm rsr or qr
pattern in v1 suggests right ventricular
conduction delay
put the doctors say I am fine so I dont
know
x rays show normal they say I am fine
and for normal my heart doesnt beat as
fast as the first one
and the doctors say I am fine but its just
weird
and I thought to that tremial forces right
means blood clot but it does nt

Ventricular rate.. Like heart rete is 72.
Like I said, I wish I knew what the
numbers meant but qrs intervals are
different parts of a heart wave form. I
have seen alot of patients with abnormal
heart beats, and have lived quite fine.
There's people with frequent pvc's,
preventricular contractions - and have it
like every third beat and never feel any
different. It's like having a hick-up
every other beat or whatnot. It also
comes with age. That's a significant
factor in qt delays. It means the
conduction in your heart takes a longer
time to get to the sa node, which is
called the "pacemaker" of your heart.
So, every time you have a conduction, the
ekg leads pick up the eletrical impulse
which is delayed.

Well here is the thing I am only 23 and
everytime I go they say I am fine the
whole reason I went to the doctor is two
things I had numbness in my left arm witch
I am left hand but see I dont know the
other reason I went is becouse my chest
pops when I move like if I put my
shoulders behind my back I just wonder
went it all means my heart beat was like
108 that time becouse I was all excited
and I quess that 72 is normal a 108 you
would have to see the ekg to get a better
idea I quess
