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 allMy sister has been feeling sick and weak for months, with chest pain and nausea. It got worse yesterday, so we took her to the hospital. They did an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray. Her echo report shows she has grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I read this is related to heart failure, but the doctor discharged her, saying everything's fine. Is there something more we should know? Could the doctor be keeping something from us?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's 68 and the doctors said he has an enlarged heart. His heart rate is just 20 right now, and he had bypass surgery 4 years ago. There haven't been any problems recently, but after an echo test, they noticed his heart has gotten bigger. What should we do next?
Enlarged heart, also known as cardiomegaly, can be a serious condition, especially in individuals with a history of heart surgery like your father. A heart rate of 20 beats per minute is extremely low and can be life-threatening. It is important to seek immediate medical attention in such cases. In this situation, your father may need a pacemaker to regulate his heart rate and prevent complications. Additionally, medications such as Metoprolol or Carvedilol can be prescribed to help manage his heart condition and prevent further enlargement of the heart. The dosage will depend on his specific health status and needs, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
