I'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. It mentioned "Sinus rhythm and ST Elevation probable normal early repolarization pattern." Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A sinus rhythm on an ECG indicates that the heart is beating normally. ST elevation with probable normal early repolarization pattern can be a normal variant in some individuals, especially young, healthy individuals. However, it can also be seen in conditions like pericarditis or myocardial infarction. Since I don't have the complete picture of your health and medical history, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

View allI'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?
There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.

I'm wondering if it's normal for my heart rate to go up to 150-160 when I'm doing cardio at the gym or climbing stairs, and then drop to around 110 when I go for a walk. I've had several ECGs done and just had an echo two days ago, and everything seems fine. My resting heart rate usually falls between 55 and 100. Should I be concerned about these numbers?
It is normal for your heart rate to increase during physical activities like gym cardio, climbing stairs, and walking. Your heart rate of 150-160 during intense exercise and 110 during walking is within a normal range for physical exertion. Since your ECG and echo results are normal, there is likely no underlying heart condition causing these heart rate variations. It is important to stay hydrated and listen to your body during exercise. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or fainting, please stop the activity and seek medical attention.
