I'm trying to understand something about ECG readings. In a normal person, when you look at the R wave in the V3 and V4 chest leads, is it due to major ventricular depolarization or septal depolarization? I could really use some help figuring this out.

In a normal person, the R wave in V3 and V4 chest leads is primarily due to major ventricular depolarization. This is a normal electrical activity of the heart during the cardiac cycle.

I'm a bit concerned about my dad's blood pressure readings. He's 61 and has high blood pressure, so he's been on medication. Recently, during a check-up, his readings were 90 and 126. But here's the thing thats puzzling me his blood pressure was higher in his right arm than his left by about 10 points. I'm really curious about what could cause this difference. Is it something we should be worried about?
This difference in blood pressure between arms is known as inter-arm blood pressure difference. It can be caused by various factors such as differences in blood vessel stiffness, blockages, or narrowing in the arteries of one arm compared to the other. It can also be due to conditions like atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease. To address this issue, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, he can continue taking his high blood pressure medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help control his blood pressure levels.
