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.

View allI've been diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and mild mitral regurgitation. Lately, I've been hearing this strange sound or feeling a vibration from my heart every now and then. It seems to go away after a while, but it's a bit worrying. I did another echo, and it still shows mild regurgitation. Could this sound or vibration mean my mitral regurgitation is getting worse? I've also been dealing with gastric issues. I'm only 22 years old, and I'm trying to figure out if these things are related or if I should be concerned about it. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've been having this strong pulse in my neck every time I lie down, and it's really affecting my sleepit's like I can feel my heart pounding too hard, and sometimes it makes me feel breathless with some chest pain coming and going. I saw a cardiologist, and they said my heart's okay since my ECG and 2d echo came back normal. My thyroids fine, and my blood pressure usually sits between 11060 to 11075. I'm on Inderal 10 mg, been taking it for about 12 days now. What could be causing these issues, and how can I fix it?

I'm really worried about this whole ECG report thing. It showed some ST segment downslope depression during my pre-employment medical exam. Then I did an echocardiogram with a color doppler test, and it shows DRA grade 1 with this E wave A wave stuff, whatever that means. There's no RWMA but the systolic is normal. The doctor didn't give me any meds except for blood pressure medicine. Is it really okay? What does this all mean? Would love some guidance on this.
"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have a normal ECG with ST segment downslope depression and a Doppler test showing DRA grade 1 with Ewave> A wave, no RWMA, and normal systolic function. Since your doctor has only prescribed blood pressure medication, it indicates that there are no significant cardiac issues requiring specific treatment at the moment. However, to further support your heart health, you can consider taking a low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily for its cardioprotective benefits. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and stress management can also be beneficial. It's important to continue regular follow-ups with your doctor for monitoring and guidance."
